Job & school data sources
Last updated: 26 July 2026
Trust matters when you're job-hunting. Here's exactly where our data comes from and how we keep it up to date.
School directory
- England: Get Information About Schools (GIAS), Department for Education. Refreshed weekly.
- Scotland: gov.scot school contact details register. Refreshed monthly.
- Wales: gov.wales / Welsh Government address register of schools. Refreshed monthly.
- Northern Ireland: education-ni institution register. Refreshed monthly.
Every school is keyed on its official identifier (URN, SEED, or country equivalent) — we never dedupe by name.
Academy trusts and governing bodies
MAT and governing organisation data is sourced from GIAS group records (England) and the equivalent official registers for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Vacancies
- Direct posts from claimed schools, trusts and agencies.
- Adzuna's education-sector feed under a commercial API agreement.
- Public XML/JSON feeds provided by recruitment agencies.
Every vacancy is deduplicated, classified by employer type (school / trust / agency), geocoded from its postcode and enriched from the source page's structured data where available.
Salary content
Salary ranges combine live vacancy data with national pay scales — STPCD (England & Wales), SNCT (Scotland) and the equivalent NI teachers' pay circulars — plus support-staff frameworks published by NJC/SJNC.
