Sophie, 37, a GP and mum of two from Milton Keynes, says:
"There were no suitable schools on our doorstep – so we used SchoolGuru and found a lovely village school, with excellent results. It’s in another county, but just ten minutes away. I could see that we had a really good chance of getting in – and thankfully, Lucy did get a place. If she hadn’t, we might have gone privately, instead. You can’t accept second best for your child's education!"
