For schools
Competitive intelligence and benchmarking.
Our Scholar tier was made for bursars, heads, governors, admissions and marketing staff to understand their competitive position.
Nothing on our platform is editorialised. Everything we publish comes from public records: Charity Commission and OSCR filings; ISI, Ofsted, Education Scotland and Estyn inspection reports; government demographic data; and a school’s own published content. Every figure links to its source.
Search more than 430 schools, select your peer group and compare side by side.
Access Tuckbox, our chatbot, to instantly answer questions such as…
- Which schools within an hour of us are showing signs of financial stress?
- Which schools in our peer group are reinvesting most heavily in their estates, and are we under-investing?
- Where are the wealthiest postcodes within 30 minutes of our school?

For parents
Beyond the open day.
You’re about to commit a substantial sum of money on your child’s education. You may have spoken with an education consultant. You’ve been to the open days and read the prospectuses.
Every independent school can show you its most impressive features, but how much are they spending per pupil? Might it close in 12 months?
These are things you should know before you commit. Use Chapel & Tuck to get the answers to questions you didn’t know you could ask…
- Is a school financially stable, or are reserves running thin?
- What makes this particular school different from the others?
- What did the inspectors actually find beyond the headline grade?
- Is the school reinvesting in its facilities, or falling behind its peers?
- Is the school owned by an overseas investment company?
- How generous are a school’s bursaries, compared to its peers?
