TES website - info about a school?

I'm job hunting and have an interview at a primary school. I was chatting to someone (don't have their number to check) saying I wish there was a way of finding out what a school is really like to work at and she said I should look at the TES website.

I assume it's part of the Forum but I've had a search and can't seem to find it.

Any ideas please?

The school will only appear under "jobs" if they have a job advert live. Worth a search there just in case. Have you read the ousted report? Also, most schools are happy for you to visit before applying.

I always look on the school website - there will be lots of information - pupil premium, policies, ethos, etc
if it’s for a particular year group, I will take a look at that year group’s section.

Thanks.
I might have misunderstood her but I thought she meant that there was a section where existing staff give a really honest opinion of the school, warts and all.

I don’t think that type of thing exists because the TES would be putting themselves in a very dodgy situation legally.

There are lots of school review sites aimed at parents though.

Oh wow, that would be epic.

Is it a school in the UK?
If it is international, there are a couple of forums that do reviews. They need a bigger pinch of salt then trip advisor.
