Which School? 2021 available now – print and online guide to UK independent schools

John Catt is very pleased to announce the publication of the 2021 edition of Which School?, our long-standing guide to independent schools, which you can now order in print or read online for free.

The 96th edition of this prestigious guidebook, which traces its origins back to 1924, features information on more than 1,800 independent schools in the UK, with double-page profiles of over 100 leading schools and colleges.

The A4, 416-page book is currently being distributed to our network of relocation agencies, education agents, embassies and High Commissions. 

It is also available to order from our bookshop, and the e-guide is available for free on the Issuu platform – you can view it at the bottom of this page.

Which School? is partnered with this website, which provides a searchable directory of the schools featured in the guidebook, with added features such as direct links to email, website and social media feeds, with the option for schools to embed their Twitter feeds and a YouTube/Vimeo video. 

You will find that some schools have 'online-only' premium listings which means you can read full profiles of more than 200 schools on this site.

The printed guidebook includes a number of editorials from schools, featuring a range of topics focused on the independent sector. 

These articles, including a foreword from Barnaby Lenon, chair of the Independent Schools Council, will be posted in the news section of this website over the coming weeks.

Which School? also includes key information on the leading independent education associations, all you need to know about examinations and curricula, including exam board dates and information, and contacts for a range of organisations that support the sector.
