The best resource I've seen for UK schools is the Good Schools Guide (which you can get at Amazon). It has a quirky but reasonably accurate description of each school and gives you a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of each. Do you want co-ed or single sex? Do you want religious (if so, which one)? Do you want IB? Or are you principally interested in academic results? You can check league tables in the major newspapers (try the Times or Guardian online education section). Some independent schools also have Ofsted reports (which are thorough and give an excellent indication of what the inspectors think the school does well and could do better). On a more specific note, I've only heard good things about Ampleforth recently...

Availability of Homosexual/Bisexual/Crossdress/Transgender rights in UK schools

Availability of Homosexual/Bisexual/Crossdress/Transgender rights in UK schools?
I need information of the rights and common rules effecting people who are Homosexual, Bisexual, Cross-dressers and Transgender in schools in the United Kingdom. Could anyone provide information on where to get these details, or the details themselves? Thank you :)

There are no specific rights afforded to the groups you list in school. The only ones that apply are those which apply to everyone, but as the rights apply to adults, and school children are 16 and under, they carry little weight
2 :
Gay rights are the same as straight people rights. i don't see why it should be any different.
3 :
There the same rights as heterosexuals, but if you mean about teaching homosexuality in schools, i'm not sure today. When i was taught about it it lasted about 1min and basically told if your gay you will get aids, that was in the 90's. No wonder it took me ages to come out, the teachers frighten you to death :-)
