Why is this here?How this comparison is ordered
An admission is worth more than any other lead on BigDot, so the pressure to sell a column is real. We don't. Schools appear in the order your filters and distance put them, and every figure is quoted the same way:
- All-in cost
- The year's fees, levies, transport and meals ÷ 12
- Seats left
- Planned − enrolled − held by open offers
- Ratio & facilities
- Typed answers the school gave, not free text
- Paid placements
- Only in the labelled strip, never in the table
Awards — scholarships, sibling concessions, waivers — show on the school's page and in your offer. No school on BigDot advertises a percentage off fees.
