What matters most?
Your quiz starts the conversation. Now confirm three priorities to compare with published school provision. All three count equally; quiz answers do not secretly weight the results.
Subject choices mean published provision, not a specialism or guaranteed Year 7 club access. Calm and individual support need a conversation with the school.

Your three matching priorities
Evidence coverage is incomplete. “Unable to match” can mean we could not verify a school’s provision, not that it is unsuitable.
How matching works
Strong fit: all three priorities supported by official sources, with no essential support or environment requirement left unverified. Worth exploring: one or two supported priorities, or three with an essential requirement still to check. Unable to match: none of your priorities has verified supporting evidence.
Results always run from Strong fit to Worth exploring to Unable to match. Within a group, more supported priorities come first; ties are alphabetical. Missing evidence is unknown, not a negative judgement. Sources were reviewed on 18 September 2026 and coverage varies by school.
Practical filters narrow the list. Attainment, distance, faith and admission chances do not add matching points. A shared or linked sixth form can count as a pathway; this does not guarantee a place or teaching on the same site.
