School Scout Information

School Scout is a modern school discovery platform that helps families search, compare and shortlist independent schools. Thousands of UK and international families use School Scout to research schools, compare their options and make more informed decisions about which schools are right for their children. For independent schools, School Scout provides a new way to reach prospective families at the earliest stages of their school search. As Google, AI and other digital platforms change the way parents discover and research schools, much of the decision-making process now happens before a family makes an enquiry. School Scout helps schools build visibility during this important stage and better understand the behaviours that shape school choice. Schools can partner with School Scout to enhance how they are presented across the platform, increase their visibility in relevant parent searches and access unique insights into how families research and compare schools. Our School Scout Parent Search Index uses anonymised behavioural data from across the platform to identify emerging trends in parent search and provide schools with a clearer picture of how families approach the school selection process.
