Get information about schools

Educational professionals can search for and update establishment details using this service, previously called Edubase.

Applies to England and Wales

  • schools
  • children’s centres
  • academy trusts and sponsors
  • school federations

You can view and download details on:

  • the type, status and phase of each school or centre
  • governors, trustees and headteachers

There are different registers for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Some Welsh information is included in this service.
