Tatler Schools Guide 2022

[ForzaEFuturo]

Hi, I am desperately trying to put my hands on the 2022 guide but can't seem to find it anywhere in the Fulham area. Anyone else struggling to get a copy? If anyone has a copy would be grateful if you could send me a photo of the page on Fulham Prep (if they are on the list), Latymer Prep, Putney High and Dulwich College. Or if anyone has any suggestions where I could get a copy. Thanks all!

It’ll be online soon if you can wait.

Sure, how do I do that?

Does this work?
No Latymer but the other three are in there.
I think you are just a bit late - they are only on newstands for a month and I got mine at least six weeks ago, probably more.

If you look at the Tatler schools Twitter account most of the schools cut and pasted their reviews! Latymer Upper is on there- not sure about the Prep.

Thank you so much all! It is greatly appreciated.

I'm also quite wary of that guide. It's only as good as the person who has written it, there can be quite biased opinions!

There’s also a very strong correlation between those schools who pay to advertise regularly and those who make the guide…….. (outside of the “big name” schools.

The guide is nonsense! It definitely shouldn’t be used as a proper schools guide. It’s not as bad as muddy stilettos though - you literally pay for a review there and let you change it to make it sound better. I don’t think there is an actual independent schools review that you can completely trust - possibly Good Schools Guide is more comprehensive than most. It’s so subjective - everyone has such different opinions of what’s good or bad!

I know what you mean about Tatler - how can you really fairly summarise a school in 50-60 words in some cases. The content is in a way less meaningful than are you in or out of the guide (which may matter to parents who want to go to schools where other parents read Tatler).

My understanding is that the GSG - while much more detailed - is not all that independent and honest either. You never hear anything negative about a school in the GSG and they tend to take whatever the head tells them as read. However in a way, that is quite revealing because it does tell you what the head thinks is most important.

I had a look at the latest up to date GSG reviews for my DC's schools and they seem to be much more comprehensive this year with more critical reviews as well as the good stuff. They got it fairly spot on with both schools.
Does anyone take much notice of the Tatler reviews?!
