Questions about planning and our services

We consider the student's curriculum, academic foundations, communication and wishes alongside the family's intended timing and living arrangements. The initial consultation identifies questions to explore; specific school recommendations require fuller information and assessment.

We establish the intended entry year, year group and current curriculum, then check target schools' published arrangements and work backwards to plan documents, language and interview preparation. Families without a shortlist can begin by organising their background information and goals.

We first explore the reasons, which may involve the curriculum, language, friendships or changes to daily life. The assessment includes the student's own perspective, followed by a discussion of options and preparation. Persuading a child to move is not the purpose of the service.

Tell us which school you have in mind and about your child's background. We can explore relevant strengths and organise document, language and interview preparation into a practical plan for that goal.

A written report bringing together the student's profile, pathway options, school-selection direction, priorities and an action timeline. It explains the reasoning and gives the family a practical basis for discussing next steps.

Using genuine experiences, interests and learning examples, students practise organising and communicating their responses. Mock interviews lead to written feedback. The focus is on understanding a question, selecting relevant content and expressing it naturally, not memorising standard answers.

Secondary school support focuses on curriculum transition, school selection and preparation for entry. University planning separately considers qualifications, subject performance, academic interests and application materials. We confirm the intended route before explaining the relevant support.

Families can choose transition support, with student and parent check-ins on the curriculum, homework and study habits. We can discuss follow-up that fits your child's needs and offer recommendations for the next stage.

The in-depth assessment is charged separately, with subsequent application services agreed by stage. We explain the relevant scope and charging approach during the initial consultation. The agreed service proposal sets out the arrangements.

The student's year group, curriculum, recent academic progress, intended start date and main questions are useful. Identity documents and a full application file are not needed at this stage. Any later document requirements are explained when assessment or application support begins.

Parents provide accurate and complete information, confirm school choices and application documents, and complete tasks requiring their personal action. Students take part in planning, preparation and practice. Advisers support planning, review and follow-up; final decisions remain with the family.

Initial enquiries only require information needed to contact you and understand your needs. Documents for later assessment or applications are requested separately. Refer to the privacy notice for use, sharing and retention arrangements, and do not enter identity document numbers in the enquiry form.
