Education consultants

If you’re unsure, there are educational consultants who specialise in helping newcomers to the UK navigate the school system and find the learning path that’s right for your child. Many of them offer a free consultation call, then for a fee can do a full school search for you, and even accompany you to school visits and help you with applications. 

I’ve heard great things about:

• Educatus – who give insight into the whole UK school system

• Best Schools – who assist with private school applications only

• Global Education – who guide you through international university applications if you’re moving with an older teen.

Do your basic homework before the call so you can use the time to ask specific questions.
