The school they attend will not only affect their levels of achievement but also their general happiness at school. Although all State Schools are required to follow the National Curriculum there are often great differences between them; on the other hand Independent Schools produce increasingly sophisticated marketing brochures but what are they really like?

School Select provides truly independent advice, (we receive no commission from any school) and our knowledge and contacts within Independent Schools and LEAs means we can provide you with a truly objective view of which is the right school for your child.

Our in-depth knowledge of the UK education system covers pre-school through to university. We can provide independent advice about state and fee paying schools, including boarding schools. Whatever type of education you are considering we can provide you with the highest quality information to allow you to make the most secure educational decisions possible.

We are increasingly asked to provide an objective assessment of the likelihood of securing a place at a given school to help parents make sure they use their preferences as effectively as possible. We are happy to produce a report for you which, whilst offering no absolute guarantees of a place will provide you with information to help you make an objective choice.

We typically work with families who are relocating to or within the UK and also families whose children have reached the natural point of transfer between Infant and Junior or Primary and High School.
