Where SchoolPath's information comes from

Sources, verified dates, expected dates and how to tell us about a mistake.

SchoolPath brings together information from education departments, school websites, admission policies and parents. Here is how we keep it clear and honest.

Sources and verified dates

Every fact on a school's profile shows where it came from and when it was last checked. Sources include public documents, school websites, information confirmed by the school, and parent reports.

Confirmed and expected dates

A date is confirmed when it comes from an announcement or from the school. A date is expected when it is our estimate, usually based on the previous year. Expected dates are always labelled, and we update them when the real dates are announced.

Keeping information up to date

We check school websites and admission policies regularly for changes. Every change is reviewed by a person before it appears on SchoolPath.

Spotted a mistake?

Use Suggest a correction on the school's profile page. You can also suggest a school we are missing. An admin reviews every suggestion.

What we never do

SchoolPath describes routes and dates to help you plan. It never guarantees a place: each school makes its own admission decisions. We do not share your details with schools or advertisers. Read our privacy notice.
