Find your perfect match

MATchmaker helps you pinpoint schools that are the perfect match for your trust, meaning your growth journey becomes simpler, faster and more strategic.

By giving you instant access to key data such as Ofsted ratings, budget indicators and MIS providers, it provides the clarity and confidence you need to identify schools with strong potential.

Not just where, but who

Our map doesn’t just show where the schools are, but who they are, and how they might align with your trust’s goals. Each marker conveys four key factors at a glance:

• School Phase
• Ofsted Leadership Grade
• In-Year Balance / Budget Indicator
• Number on Roll (size of the marker)

Smart search and filters

Focus your search by location, MIS, budget, Ofsted Leadership grade, URN, DfE number or local authority, making it easy to find schools that meet your exact criteria.

With MATchmaker’s filters, you can cut through the noise and get straight to the schools that matter.

Whether you’re exploring a specific area, analysing financial health, or searching for schools with a particular leadership profile, you can instantly narrow thousands of schools down to a tailored shortlist.

Choose your filters and the map updates instantly, showing you all the schools that match your criteria, giving you confidence that no potential opportunity is missed.

Bookmark and save

Create shortlists of potential schools to revisit, compare or discuss with your leadership team.

Bookmarks help you stay organised as your search evolves. Each saved school is easy to revisit, with quick links back to its location on the map and all key data in one place.

Perfect for trust strategy sessions, due diligence work, and ongoing expansion planning.
