How we help
Our school placement support

School selection advice

We help you identify the right schools based on your child’s academic profile, interests, preferred location, and budget — cutting through the overwhelming choice.

Application support

We guide families through the admissions process, assist with paperwork, liaise with schools directly, and ensure nothing is missed along the way.

Ongoing school liaison

Once your child is enrolled, we maintain a close relationship with the school — attending meetings, monitoring progress, and acting as your representative on the ground.

Welfare & pastoral care

We work closely with school staff to monitor your child’s wellbeing — picking up on any concerns early and ensuring any issues are dealt with promptly.

Parent updates

We keep you informed at every stage — from application to settling in and beyond. You will always know how your child is getting on.

Holiday & exeat cover

During school breaks and exeats, we arrange host family placements so your child always has a safe, comfortable place to stay in the UK.

From enquiry to enrolment
1

Initial consultation

We learn about your child, their goals, and your family’s preferences for school type, location, and budget.

School shortlist

We research and present a tailored shortlist of schools that match your child’s profile and your requirements.

Once a place is secured, we become your child’s guardian — providing ongoing support throughout their time at school.

Common questions
Schools FAQs

Which schools do you work with?

We work with a wide range of independent boarding schools, day schools, state and grammar schools, and universities across the UK. Contact us to discuss specific schools.

Can you help with school applications?

Yes — we can guide the whole process from identifying suitable schools to completing applications, arranging visits, and preparing for entrance exams and interviews.

What age groups do you support?

We support students from prep school age right through to university. Our services are tailored to the specific needs of each age group and school type.

Do state schools require a guardian?

While not always compulsory for state schools, having a guardian is strongly recommended for any international student studying in the UK without their parents.

What if my child needs to change schools?

We can help facilitate a school transfer if needed — managing communications, applications to new schools, and ensuring continuity of care throughout the process.

Do you have contacts at specific schools?

Yes — we have established relationships with many schools across Suffolk and beyond, which helps us provide well-informed guidance and smooth communication.
