If required, we also offer the highest standards of exam prep tutoring to help your child excel in the required entrance exams.
Our school admissions consultants know independent schools in London and the UK as well as anyone. If you need support finding the right school for your child, we can shortlist schools that are the best fit for your child’s academic abilities, interests, personality, and aspirations.
For families seeking the highest level of support, our school admissions consultants provide a comprehensive school placement service, including shortlisting and applying to UK schools on your behalf.
We conduct independent assessments to measure your child’s academic potential, giving you a clearer understanding of which schools are realistic options based on their current and predicted levels.
