What our Transparent Fees 2026 badge means
SchoolMatch Europe Research · 2026-10-10 · Research explainer
Our Transparent Fees 2026 page identifies profiles that meet a published checklist for fee information. It requires a public, dated annual day-fee table with at least three named rows, a stated currency, an official source and a field verification date within twelve months. It also requires documented additional charges or an explicit statement that there are none, together with confirmed ages and attendance arrangements. The checklist concerns the availability of information. It is not an inspection, a quality score or a claim about which school is best for a family. Schools that meet the criteria can optionally display the badge and link to their own profile. No link exchange is required. Families still need to obtain an applicable quotation and ask about compulsory extras. Schools can submit a source-backed correction if a schedule changes. The badge list is generated from the same evidence snapshot as our European fee report and can change when new evidence is verified.
