Finding the Right School

There are about 2500 private schools in Great Britain. Each of them is unique in terms of admission regulations and academic process, but any of them aims to the same target – finding a strength and a talent which are present in each child and providing him/her with conditions for development. The British education opens all doors and presents new opportunities for your child.

When shall a school be selected for the child?

The admission to private schools is performed at least one year before the academic year commencement, so one can select a suitable variant even now. The English boarding schools admit foreign students with accommodation in the school since the age of 7, and there is admittance since the age of 11, 13, 14 and 16.

How can one select a suitable school?

So that to help you in getting the lay of the land in a variety of schools, we at JAMES & WILLIAM CONSULTANCY LTD have developed a system for personal selection, including the following stages:

Primary Consultation

At our first consultation we make acquaintance with you, learn your goals, requirements and preferences concerning education and the school infrastructure, and answer any questions.

Interview with your child

It is very important for us to know your child’s level of English language knowledge, as well as his/her interests, hobbies, requests concerning school and readiness to relocate for education.

Preparation of documents

We need to prepare the following documents: school transcript, personal character reference from the school headmaster, English language knowledge certificates, diplomas and different records of achievement in sports, music, or other awards which will represent your child for school advantageously.

List of schools

We compile a list of schools which comply with your requirements.

3 groups of schools are distinguished among them by all means:

• 1) Selective schools with high competitive selection rate
• 2) Academic schools with entrance examinations
• 3) Schools which will reliably admit your child

Familiarisation trip

We recommend selecting and visiting 3 or 4 listed schools which you liked most.

For any parent it is useful to assess his own impression of the visit to the school, of communication with the headmaster, school pupils. Such a trip may take 3 to 7 days, and we will make all arrangements  for your accommodation, transport and escort during your visit to the school.
