Does this cost the school anything?

No. There's no fee, no minimum, and no contract for the school to sign.

Do you pay us commission?

No, and that's deliberate. A school taking a cut when its own families subscribe creates a conflict we'd rather you never have to explain to a parent or a governor. You get recognition and reporting instead.

What does it cost families?

There's a free tier to try it, and full access is $3.97 a month at the early-access price. We're explicit about pricing on the page families land on — no free trial that converts silently into a charge.

Are we endorsing the platform?

Entirely your call. Some schools introduce it as a recommended resource; others share it as something available to families and leave it there. We supply copy for both.

What if our families don't take it up?

Then nothing further happens. There's no obligation to send again, and no follow-up to your list from us — we don't have it.

✦ For schools and sixth forms

It costs your school nothing. It helps your students land the right place, at the right university, in the right country.

No fee, no contract, no commission, no staff project to run. One newsletter placement is the whole ask — and in return your sixth-formers get structured, verified help with the biggest decision they've made so far.

✓ Free for your school

✓ One newsletter placement

✓ Your list stays yours

The right place. The right university. The right country.

Three decisions, usually made in the wrong order, on the wrong information. This is the part your careers team never has enough hours for.

The right place

An offer they can actually convert — matched to the grades they're on track for, not the grades they wish they had. Better-matched applications mean stronger offers, and a destinations list that reflects what your students are genuinely capable of.

The right university

The top 200 holds dozens of institutions that would suit a student better than the five names everyone has heard of — on entry requirements, on real cost, and on where the degree actually leads.

The right country

Tuition, living costs, visa rules and post-study work rights vary enormously by destination. A course that is out of reach in one country is affordable in another — most families never find that out in time.

And the cost to you

Nothing. Here is the whole arrangement.

Before you read another word — this is every obligation on your school, in full.

Cost to your school: £0
Commission paid to your school: None — by design
What we ask: 1 newsletter
Staff time required: Under an hour
Contact data we receive: None
Minimum term: None

We don't pay schools commission on their own families. A school should be able to recommend something without a financial interest in whether parents buy it.

Built from verified university and government sources — not scraped guesswork.

COVERING THE WORLD'S TOP 200 — AND GROWING

What's already happening

Your students are already asking AI. Just not one built for this.

They're asking general assistants which universities to target, what a visa needs, which agent to use — and getting confident answers from tools that have no duty of care and no way to tell a legitimate service from a fraudulent one.

They're using AI unsupervised, now

General assistants answer confidently whether or not they're right, and they tend to agree with whatever the student already believes. On a decision this size, a plausible wrong answer is worse than no answer.

They shortlist on rankings alone

The top 200 holds dozens of universities that would suit them better than the five names they've heard of — on grades, on cost, and on where the degree actually leads.

There are 70+ steps to navigate

Visas, funding, accommodation, insurance, offers. Most families are working it out for the first time, with no map.

Careers staff can't clone themselves

However much they'd like to, they cannot sit with every student individually for as long as this decision warrants.

Destinations are how you're judged

Better-matched applications mean stronger offers — and a destinations list that reflects what your students are genuinely capable of.

Vetted Service Providers

Qorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc vulputate libero et velit interdum, ac aliquet odio mattis.

What your students get

Structured guidance, whenever they need it.

Not a brochure, and not a general chatbot with the whole internet behind it. A bounded platform built on verified data, available at 11pm when the questions actually surface.

Max, an AI counsellor

Students ask the questions they wouldn't put to a teacher, and get answers grounded in verified institutional data rather than forum hearsay. Max works inside that dataset — it doesn't send students out to unknown third parties.

The Elite Schools Dataset

Top-200 universities with entry requirements, real tuition and living costs, and graduate outcomes — comparable side by side.

A 70-step journey tracker

Students and parents see what's done, what's next, and what has a deadline attached, across the whole application cycle.

The arrangement

One newsletter placement. Nothing more.

We're not asking your staff to run anything, endorse anything, or take on work in an already full term.

What we ask of you

Two small things.

One newsletter placement to parents and students. We supply the copy, ready to paste, matched to your house style if you send us an example — see the copy first if you'd rather.
One named contact for the handful of emails involved. Usually the head of sixth form, careers lead, or whoever owns the parent newsletter.

Realistically under an hour of anyone's time, once.

Free for the current intake, no contract and no minimum. If that ever changes, partner schools will be told well in advance and won't be moved onto a paid footing without agreeing to it.

Three steps, one of which is yours.

We set you up

You get a short block of newsletter copy written for your parents and students, ready to paste, plus a named contact here.

You send it once

It goes out in your next scheduled newsletter. Your list stays with you — we never see it, receive it, or write to it.

We stay available

Your careers team has someone to ask, for as long as the partnership runs — staff questions answered, students pointed in the right direction.

Data and safeguarding

Your list never leaves your school.

Sixth-form students are frequently under 18, and we treat that as the starting point rather than an afterthought. The structure of this partnership is deliberately designed so that you never hand us anyone's contact details.

Your data protection officer is welcome to ask us anything before you commit. We'd rather answer it now than have it surface later.

You send the newsletter, not us. We are never given, and never ask for, your parent or student contact details.
You stay the controller of your own list throughout.
Families come to us directly, of their own accord, through your code.
Under-18 provisions are set out in our privacy policy — lawful basis, retention, and the position on parental consent.
We never sell data to third parties. Where a student chooses an introduction to a provider, that choice is theirs.
