Terms of Use

School Nest is operated by GROWFORTH MEDIA LIMITED (company number 16022328). By using School Nest you agree to these terms. Schools that claim a listing or subscribe to Pro also agree to our School & Pro Subscription Terms. Our Privacy Notice explains how we use personal information.

Anyone can browse School Nest. To create an account you must be at least 18 and give accurate details. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity on your account.

School Nest shows different kinds of information, and labels which is which:

• Official public data from bodies such as the Department for Education and Ofsted, shown as published. We don't control the source and can't guarantee it is complete or up to date.
• School-provided content written by verified school representatives, who are responsible for it.
• School Nest-calculated information, such as straight-line distance, which is an approximation and not a catchment or admissions measure.
• AI-assisted features, described below.

See Data Sources & Methodology for details.

School Nest helps you research schools. It does not guarantee admission, the availability of a place, Ofsted outcomes, academic performance, the accuracy of third-party data, or that any school is suitable for your child. Always check important details with the school and your local authority, and make admissions decisions yourself.

The AI School Finder turns your description into search filters for School Nest's real school data. Ask School Nest AI answers from the official and school-published information we hold. AI can make mistakes: treat answers as a starting point, not a guarantee, and check anything important with the school or official source. AI does not decide admissions, change official data, or give paying schools a better position.

Compare puts information side by side. It does not rank schools or say which is better, and paying for Pro never changes search order or comparisons.

You must not:

• break the law, or use School Nest to harass, defame or deceive anyone
• impersonate a school or person, or claim a school you are not authorised to represent
• send spam, abusive or sensitive personal information through enquiry forms
• scrape, copy or bulk-download School Nest content by automated means without permission
• attempt to bypass security, access other people's accounts or disrupt the service
• upload malware, or content you don't have the right to share

We may suspend or close accounts, remove content, or block access where these terms are broken or to protect users, schools or the service.

The School Nest name, logo, design and software belong to GROWFORTH MEDIA LIMITED. Official data is reused under its own licence (see Data Sources). School content belongs to the school or its licensors. You may use School Nest for personal, non-commercial research.

We link to school websites, official sources and other services we don't control and aren't responsible for.

If something looks wrong, please tell us. Official records are corrected at source by the publisher and reach School Nest through the next update.

We work to keep School Nest available and accurate but can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change or withdraw features, and we may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you have legal rights these terms don't affect. Otherwise, we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable, or for decisions made in reliance on third-party data or AI answers without checking them.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
