We specialise in supporting families who are applying to British independent day and boarding schools. Our consultancy services provide bespoke guidance for families applying to pre-prep, preparatory and senior independent schools.
For senior school admissions we recommend engaging with Path Education when your child starts Year 4 (when they are 8 or 9 years old), this is around two years before they sit their entrance exams. For pre-prep and prep schools placements we advise getting in touch as early as you can.
Our school placement services are fully comprehensive and delivered to you on a one-to-one basis by your consultant. Our services provide bespoke support throughout the entire process from getting to know you as a family, understanding your child’s academic capabilities, exploring the most appropriate school options for them and developing a strategic educational plan to support them in preparing for their school entrance exams and interviews. We then work with you as a family to help you decide between your school offers.
