Expert guidance for families navigating UK independent school admissions.
The UK independent school system is highly competitive and applications can be complex, particularly for international families who may be unfamiliar with entrance procedures, admissions timelines and academic requirements.
From selecting appropriate schools to preparing for assessments, I provide families with strategic advice tailored to their child’s academic strengths, personality and aspirations.
I have extensive experience supporting students of all ages in their applications and have successfully placed children at a wide range of the UK’s top prep, senior, day and boarding schools.
Boarding School Consultancy
The UK has a long tradition of exceptional boarding schools, many with their own singular requirements and admissions procedures for applicants.
In recent years, boarding has become more accessible and flexible, with many schools offering weekly and flexi boarding as well as welcoming girls into previously all-boys settings. Alongside the famously traditional, high-prestige institutions, this has created a wide range of boarding opportunities to suit many different family situations.
When a child is going to live at school, it becomes even more important to make the right choice. I have advised families and managed successful applications to some of the UK’s most renowned schools on behalf of families from around the world.
Notable successes include: Eton College (King’s Scholarship), Radley College, Wellington College, Marlborough College, Brighton College, Benenden.
Prep School Consultancy
In the UK, prep school entry can be complicated and competitive starting from the age of just four. I frequently advise on school choices for young children starting their education journey, as well as for those looking to make a move at any prep school stage.
Especially when moving from overseas, families may need school places outside of the usual entry points; I have facilitated many placements into both London day and country boarding preps for children who are new to the British education system.
