The team at Rightmove have asked us to find MNers in Great Britain to put their School Checker to the test and we know you all love a bit of property porn so we thought you’d all jump at this one - we’re specifically looking for parents (or parents to be) who have pre-school children who are starting to think about primary school for the first time - or those who are pregnant for the first time (and for whom school choice is on their radar). It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to move in the near future or not.

The team at Rightmove say “Find the right home near the right school with Rightmove’s School Checker. School Checker gives you access to admissions criteria and academic inspection reports for primary and secondary schools across Great Britain. Now on every property, School Checker lets you discover previous admissions areas and Ofsted ratings to easily compare local schools. Visit rightmove.co.uk/schools to learn more.

Once you’ve found the right home, simply click on the ‘School Checker’ tab to find the right school. Available on both desktop,mobile site and apps.”

Check out their video here

If you’d like to take part in this (will be over the next month or so) - please add your details here.

If selected, we will email you but you’d need to visit Rightmove, choose a property and then look at the School Checker tab. Testers will be able to have a play with it. We’d then want you to add your feedback and thoughts on a thread on MN.

All selected testers who share feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice.

Thanks

I would be happy to participate. I have a three year old so we're looking into schools now.

Admissions information for our school is (very) incorrect.

I have looked at this: it is VERY misleading where a school has anything other than big standard entrance criteria.

Our local secondary school has a banded intake at secondary, and has become an 'all through school'. Every child in our road goes to the school for secondary, but they seem to have taken the intake based only on primary on the Rightmove map.

I think it is a step too far for EAs to advise on schools admissions.

Catchment maps produced by independents would be better.
