The Good Schools Guide | Nisai Learning

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Nisai has been reviewed and featured in the prestigious Good Schools Guide.

Parents say, “Everything they do here has an SEN lens’ (e.g. small classes, short lessons, no cameras) and that the team does ‘far more around EHCPs than is our experience in traditional schools”.

The Good Schools Guide has praised our innovative approach to education, highlighting our dedication to re-engaging and empowering learners. They have recognised the positive impact our tailored academic and non-academic mentoring has on students’ lives.

Read the full review and learn more about how we are making a difference to the lives of our students.

The Good Schools Guide is viewed as a unique authority on schools, learning environments, and support services. For over thirty years, the Guide has offered families clear insights into every aspect of choosing the right education pathway. Parents trust the Guide for:

  • independent judgement
  • candid school reviews
  • advice based on education data
  • clear explanations of different school types, including non-selective schools, boarding schools, and international schools
  • guidance on SEND, university choice, and wider educational needs

 

The Guide plays a major role in helping parents understand their options, compare settings, and choose the best education for their children.

The Guide noted several areas where Nisai differs from mainstream and specialist schools:

1. Our focus on SEND support

We design lessons and systems that work for learners with a wide range of needs. This includes short lessons, structured routines, sensory-responsive design, and online safeguarding measures.

2. Our mentoring and wellbeing support

The Guide praised our blend of academic and non-academic mentoring, recognising the impact this has on student confidence, engagement, and long-term progress.

3. Our commitment to re-engaging learners

Many of our students arrive with disrupted education, anxiety, or previous disengagement. The Guide acknowledged our success in helping these students rebuild trust in learning.

4. Our personalised curriculum and flexible pathways

Families shared how our approach gives pupils space to learn in a way that suits their needs, circumstances, and goals.

The Good Schools Guide is one of the UK’s most recognised and trusted sources of independent school advice. For over thirty years, it has helped families understand every aspect of choosing the right education for their children. The Guide is written by experienced education consultants who visit schools, review provision, and speak directly with parents, pupils, and staff.

The Guide is known for its candid school reviews, clear explanations, and reliable education data. It includes a wide range of schools, such as non-selective schools, specialist settings, boarding schools, and international schools, giving parents a comprehensive collection of information to support confident decision-making. Its reviews are valued because they are independent, unbiased, and based on real experiences shared by other parents and educational organisations.

Families rely on The Good Schools Guide because it focuses on what matters most: the quality of support, the learning environment, the child’s day-to-day experience, and whether a school delivers the best education for each child’s needs. Its long-established reputation and depth of insight make it a unique authority for anyone seeking trustworthy advice when educating children in the UK or abroad.

The Guide’s detailed assessment offers more depth, including insights gathered from their visit, conversations with parents, and independent education data. Their review covers:

  • how pupils respond to our online lessons
  • how we support SEND, anxiety, or disrupted learning
  • feedback from families
  • comments from our team
  • examples of progress
  • reflections on our ethos and approach

 

We encourage families, schools, and professionals to read the full review to understand why the Guide considers Nisai a trusted choice for children needing a different path.
