Which School? 2025 available now – print and online guide to UK independent schools

John Catt from Hodder Education is pleased to announce the publication of the 2025 edition of Which School?, our long-standing guide to independent schools, which you can order in print or read online for free.

This year the guidebook celebrates its 100th edition, featuring information on more than 1,800 independent schools in the UK, with double-page profiles of over 120 leading schools and colleges.

The A4, 420-page book is distributed to our network of relocation agencies, education agents, embassies and High Commissions.

It is also available to order from our online 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.

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 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.
