Short notice school placement support for relocating family

Background

The family had been given six months’ notice of a relocation to the UK and were confused by the British independent school system. Their two girls were several years apart in age and out of sync with usual Pre-Prep and Prep school entry points. They wanted our help to find a school where each daughter could study four languages.

SLT’s Approach 

We provided a full school placement service, including shortlisting the schools that met the family’s criteria, arranging visits and school tours, and follow up guidance. We introduced the family to two different schools, each with a slightly better fit for the girls.

Results

Both girls were settled & happy at their new schools for one year. We then gave the family further guidance to help with applications for Senior Schools.
