What do you need help with? There are several ways to find out more about schools. A few months back, I was reading a article on how to pick a school. It was certainly really useful.
1-Read OFSTED reports carefully. Pay attention to any strengths and weaknesses listed in the report. But don’t forget to trust your instinct either.
2-School visits. This is another way of learning more about the school. Take a list of questions with you and make sure you see all areas of the school as well. Go on a normal day. See the classrooms.
Are the toilets clean or dirty?
3-Local businesses. Often shopkeepers will have information on what happens when pupils from the local schools pop in. Interview them.
4-Other moms and dads. They may also have information to share. Quickly ask their opinion of schools. Make notes. Find out about what their child thinks of the school.
5-League tables. If you love numbers, take a look. But try to remember the numbers do not tell you much about the school. Never choose a school based on exam results or numbers alone. Will my child excel here? Be sure to inquire about school policies.
Apply to your council. Good luck. I know how you feel. One piece of advice trust your gut feeling and request a tour of the whole school. Look at the website as well. There will be important information on there to read. Ring up to schedule a date for a appointment to meet the staff and pupils and tour the school properly. Is this a mainstream or SN school? How old is your child now? You might find this website helpful
