Terms of Service

1. About These Terms

These terms govern your use of the SchoolSteps UK website at schoolsteps.uk (“the Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. What We Provide

SchoolSteps UK offers free interactive education tools (calculators, timetables) and written guides for UK parents and students. All content is provided for general informational purposes only.

3. No Professional Advice

The tools and content on this Site do not constitute professional educational, financial, or legal advice. Results from our calculators are estimates based on publicly available data (e.g. grade boundaries published by exam boards). Always verify important decisions with your school, exam board, or a qualified professional.

4. Accuracy of Data

We make reasonable efforts to keep tool data (grade boundaries, exam dates, etc.) accurate and up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that all data is error-free or current. Official exam board publications are the definitive source.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SchoolSteps UK shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Site. This includes, without limitation, any errors in calculator results or tool outputs.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by English law.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party sites.
