The Houseroom Index 2026

An open, multi-source ranking of UK independent schools — scored only on data we actually have. Missing data is excluded, not guessed. Nine pillars. Transparent weights. No paid placement.

What's different

Transparent formula

Nine pillars, weights published in code. Schools are scored only on pillars where we have verified data — missing pillars are excluded, not filled with defaults.

The first AI-readiness score

A 5-tier rubric — from no CS provision to published AI ethics policies — that scores how seriously each school treats AI, computer science, robotics and entrepreneurship. No other UK ranking publishes one.

Beyond exam grades

Pastoral, parent voice, access and pupil flourishing get half the weight. Schools that look after children — not just shuttle them through exams — surface in the Whole-Child sub-index.

For schools

Every school's data confidence is published alongside its score. Schools can claim their listing to fill data gaps — verified submissions earn a Verified by school badge but don't inflate the score.
