What we are registered for

Pre-primary and early years, primary education, secondary education, tutoring and academic support, curriculum and assessment support, and educational administration support.

Pre-Primary & Early Years

An activity we are registered for (SIC 85100). Early years provision for children under five in England must be registered — with Ofsted, or as part of a registered independent school — and must deliver the statutory Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We make no claim on this website to hold that registration; ask us and check the register.

Primary Education

An activity we are registered for (SIC 85200). An independent primary school in England must be registered with the Department for Education before it admits pupils and must meet the Independent School Standards. No inspection grade, result or pupil number is claimed here.

Secondary Education

An activity we are registered for (SIC 85310). The same registration requirement and the same Independent School Standards apply, and the published inspection report is the document to read. We claim no examination results and no awarding organisation approval.

Tutoring & Academic Support

Educational support services (SIC 85600). One-to-one and small-group support alongside a child’s own school, agreed in writing with the parent. Private tutoring is not a registered activity in England, but anyone working unsupervised with children is in regulated activity and must be vetted accordingly.

Educational Administration Support

Why does every card mention registration?

Because it is the one thing that cannot be made up, and the one thing a parent can check in two minutes. A provider that leads with its ratings and buries its registration has chosen which of the two it would rather you looked at.
