PLAN EARLY
1. Early planning is advisable, allow at least 18 months to two years.
2. Ask questions and identify the type of educational environment that would best suit the needs of your child; is it to be co-educational or a single sex school, highly-selective or more suitable for the ‘all rounder’.
3. Do you have any special requirements? (Dyslexia, a medical condition, learning or physical difficulties, or need for intensive English language provision, for example.)
4. Do you require the school to be in any particular area of the UK?
5. Have copies of the child’s school reports available.
6. Inform the child’s present school of your intentions. The Principal will be required to supply a reference.
7. Be clear about, if and when, you are able to visit the schools selected.
WHAT TO EXPECT
1. The Education Consultant selects four or five schools that best meet the agreed criteria, for your consideration.
2. The education consultant will arrange for the school prospectuses to be sent to the family.
3. The education consultant should be available to discuss the benefits of each school selected and generally answer parent’s questions.
4. It is advisable to make appointments to visit three or four schools.
To see the school in action is important, parents are advised to visit in term-time whenever possible.
