Considered Guidance.
Exceptional Schools.
For families navigating the British independent school system, we provide the expertise, relationships and personal attention to place your child exactly where they belong.
Our education consultancy service is built around five key areas that together provide a complete foundation for your child’s educational journey — from the very first assessment through to the first day of term.
We help you understand the British education system and map out the ideal path for your child, whether entering at prep school level, senior school, or sixth form.
From UKiset and ISEB Common Pre-Test preparation to subject-specific tutoring, we ensure your child is fully prepared for the academic demands of the admissions process.
British boarding schools value the whole child. We help you showcase sporting, musical, artistic and other talents in a way that strengthens your child’s application and opens scholarship doors.
We prepare your child for the cultural and social aspects of boarding school life — cultural awareness sessions, interview practice and pre-boarding workshops that build confidence.
Sending a child to school overseas is a significant decision. We support parents with honest guidance, regular communication and practical assistance with everything from visas to guardianship.
We work primarily with international families seeking a British boarding school education for their child. Our clients come from over 80 countries and range from families considering school for the first time to those making the transition from one school to another.
We would not have invited this student for an interview had we only seen her school reports and not her very impressive WBS Student Profile.

We would be pleased to hear from you. Initial consultations are offered without obligation.
We start with your child: their academic level, interests, personality and any learning needs, and what you want from a school. We then match them to schools we know personally, looking at academic fit, pastoral care, size, location, single-sex or co-educational, sport and music, and the international mix, rather than league tables alone.
Some prep schools take boarders from age 7 or 8. The main entry points to senior schools are 11+ (Year 7), 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (sixth form, Year 12). Your child's year group depends on their age on 31 August; our School Year Calculator shows which year they would join.
The Education Consultancy gives you expert advice and a plan. School Placement is our full service: we manage every step of admissions for you, from registrations and tests to school visits, offers, the visa and a pre-boarding workshop.
Most of our families live outside the UK, but we also advise British families abroad and families moving their child from one UK school to another.
