The Good Schools Guide
'The Good Schools Guide' was first published in 1986, and was the first (and is currently the only) UK school guide to review schools with neither their payment nor their permission (although all completed reviews are sent to schools for comment on factual veracity). The current edition covers over 1000 of the best state and private schools - including all of the famous English public schools - with advice and articles on how to choose the right schools and how to get into them.

Vivid school descriptions are written in a brisk, conversational and irreverent style, from a parents’ point of view, in order to give accurate independent information and take the mystery out of the parental school research and interview process. The reviews are based on editors' interviews with parents and other people who know the schools, and visits to all of the schools. The GSG editors also offer one-to-one advice on schools choice.

All the material in the guide is available on The Good Schools Guidewebsite, together with detailed analysis of English schools' examination results.

The Good Schools Guide - Special Education Needs
'The Good Schools Guide- Special Education Needs' was first published in 2004. The influential guide covers special education needs provision in UK schools, with detailed reviews of UK schools that cater well for special educational needs in addition to over 250 pages of articles, resources and links to help parents recognize and manage special education needs in their children. The entire GSG-SEN is in print, and also contained in its entirety within the Good Schools Guide website.

The Good Schools Guide International
'The Good Schools Guide International'is a website that contains independent and critical reviews of "international" schools in over 35 countries worldwide that offer American, British or International Baccalaureate curricula.

Similar in scope and approach to The Good Schools Guide, the Good Schools Guide International is written by a network of editors who are parents and expatriates living in each host country. GSGI editors provide advice to incoming parents about specific schools, general educational provision, and local expatriate acclimatization for each country.

The extensive section of Feature Articlesdeals with a range of subjects such as school accreditations and inspections and which ones are recognized as legitimate; differences between curricula; school systems and the exams connected to each;transitions between systems,hemispheres and countries; how to develop long-term educational plans for children living with their parents abroad; how to decide whether to take children to a posting or put them in boarding school; how to deal with special education needs abroad (with articles and resources from The Good Schools Guide- Special Education Needs).
