When timing is critical, WBS draws upon a decade of school relationships to secure available places at outstanding independent schools — quickly, discreetly and without compromise on quality.
Your child did not achieve the grades required by their first-choice sixth form or school. You need a quality alternative at short notice. We know which schools have places and how to approach them effectively.
Your child exceeded their predicted grades and now has the opportunity to apply to more selective schools. We can identify which outstanding schools still have availability and make the right introductions.
You are looking for schools offering means-tested bursaries or fee assistance. We understand the landscape of available funding and can identify schools with active bursary programmes.
British School Clearing is the UK’s only dedicated clearing service for independent day and boarding school places. The process is straightforward.
Reach out by email or phone as soon as you know you need to find a place. The sooner we know, the more options we can explore on your behalf.
We need to understand your child — academic level, interests, personality, and any particular requirements — so we can match them to the right schools.
Drawing on our relationships with over 100 partner schools, we identify which schools have suitable places and are a good fit for your child.
We make direct introductions to the right schools, manage the communication and support you through to offer and acceptance — as quickly as the process allows.
Most clearing enquiries fail because they come through generic channels. WBS makes direct contact with schools we know personally. Our introductions carry weight because admissions teams trust the quality of students we present.
We do not send students through third-party directories. We call the registrar directly. We have spent years building the kind of trust that means our calls get answered.
Clearing does not mean settling. We have secured places at some of Britain’s finest schools for students who initially feared they had run out of options.
Contact us as soon as possible — every day matters in clearing.
