British independent boarding schools are experts on the type of child that would fit well in to their school’s community.   It is worth talking to the schools that make contact with you to discuss their future development plans and how your child would benefit.  They may see that your child is a future scientist looking to enter Year 9.  What you didn’t know is that by the time they start their GCSEs, a brand new science block will be built providing state-of-the-art facilities and endless opportunity in the world of science, isn’t that worth a consideration?  This is information you may not have discovered doing your own research.
