Supporting you

We can also speak to the schools on your behalf if necessary as well as arrange appointments and tours of the schools.
If you feel that you would like us to provide you with further options we can arrange for you to receive more information on some alternative schools.
Our Service
The UK is home to some of the finest independent schools in the world and, with our help you can find the right school to provide your children with an educational experience that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
When visiting a school, our consultants pay particular attention to the quality of the boarding facilities, security, atmosphere and ethos as well as any specialist facilities.
In most cases they have met the Head, the Admissions staff and key boarding staff, and even eaten in the school dining hall and therefore they are uniquely placed to select the best schools based on your needs.
