Quick answer

Grammar School Hub is a research site. We use limited analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful, and we try to keep data collection proportionate to that purpose.

  • Parent accounts can save a shortlist and basic planning details so the dashboard can show useful signals.
  • We do not collect payment information.
  • Analytics is kept to coarse product events rather than raw account, password, postcode, or town text.

What we do not collect

  • No payment information

    The site does not currently process payments or subscriptions.

  • No account credentials in analytics

    We do not send email addresses, passwords, raw postcodes, or town text to analytics events.

  • No detailed child records for analytics

    Analytics may use broad values such as school year or entry year, not a child's name or detailed educational history.

Search and analytics

If you use search on the site, that search may be processed so relevant results can be shown. We may also measure search usage at a general level so we can improve the experience over time.

For parent accounts, analytics may record broad events such as sign-in method, whether a shortlist action succeeded, saved-school counts, the school slug involved, and coarse dashboard setup choices. It should not include passwords, email addresses, raw postcodes, or town text.

Changes and questions

If you want to raise a concern or point out a factual issue, keeping it specific is the quickest way to help.

  1. Send the page route

    Include the page where you saw the issue.

  2. Say what the concern is

    A short explanation is usually enough.

  3. Include the better source if relevant

    If the issue is factual, it helps to include the school or admissions page that supports the correction.
