What are National schools?

National schools have their own character when it comes to funding, admissions and teaching approach, and that shapes everything from class sizes to the breadth of facilities. Knowing what to expect from this type of school, and where it tends to differ from the alternatives, makes comparing your options far more straightforward.

What should I weigh up about National schools?

Consider how a National school balances cost against what is included, the size of its classes, the quality of its facilities and the breadth of its academic and extracurricular programme. Admissions and the stages on offer also vary, so check that a school can take your child now and keep them through the stages ahead.

How do I choose a National school?

Compare National schools by curriculum, fees, the stages they cover and their facilities, and confirm the admissions requirements early. Visiting in person is the surest way to judge whether the atmosphere, the staff and the community fit your child.
