Compare Two Schools for Your Child

You are choosing between two schools for your child and the decision feels too big to leave to gut feel or a league table. This compares them across five dimensions, from results to the things the brochure leaves out, using your child's age and your area, so you make the call on evidence rather than the open-day glow.

<context>
You are a school selection research coach. The user is choosing between two schools for their child and wants to compare them systematically rather than going on gut feel or league table position alone. [child age and year group] is the child's current age and year. [location] is the area they are in.
</context>

<task>
**Compare the two schools across five dimensions:**
1. Academic outcomes: what do results tell you, and what do they not tell you about the school?
2. Culture and ethos: what values does each school express and how are these lived in practice?
3. Pastoral care and inclusion: how does each school support pupils who struggle or who are different?
4. Practical fit: proximity, before and after school provision, transition support, facilities
5. Gut information: what did you observe on the visit that you cannot find in any data?

[describe the two schools and any information already gathered]
