We have noticed that many of our clients have never chosen to look beyond London as this is the only place they have visited in the UK before. Imagine their delight when we can discuss the benefits of studying in an area of stunning natural beauty such as the Lake District, the extra-curricular opportunities afforded by being located in top UK schools in the Midlands or the possibility of private schools being close to Manchester; which has a strong property investment market and an international airport with flights arriving from around the world.  

In some scenarios it may be preferable to be located close to London, perhaps if you have close friends or family located in the area and your child will be looking to spend a three or four weekends per term with them - however in many cases, this will unnecessarily rule out a world of other independent schooling options, specialisms and some absolutely breathtaking British boarding schools. Given you can reach London Heathrow from all the schools we recommend within 3 hours, or even less by connecting from another British airport it really pays to speak to an education expert when shortlisting your schools and taking steps towards making this vitally important decision. 

The best schools in the UK will have the infrastructure to take care of all the airport transfer logistics for you meaning that your child is safely cared for from the moment they touch down at the airport. In essence, this ensures no discernible difference to the school experience. As you would expect, students are not allowed to freely roam city centres at evenings and weekends so the benefit of being in a city centre becomes less relevant. In fact, all the schools we recommend will organise regular visits to cities and places of cultural interest during the weekends, ensuring these are supervised in an organised and safe manner. It is also worth considering the increased opportunities afforded by a large school campus, with the school having the land and space to actively build outstanding sports and recreational facilities, whilst offering a physical environment that supports well-being and fresh, clean air. 

If you are considering UK education but unsure where to begin, allow us to share our knowledge and experience we have with helping over 400 other families choose the best school for them. We can talk you through a suggested list of independent schools in the UK that match your requirements and we are confident you will be pleased with the results. 

Finding the right private schools in the UK is a very important task and one that will shape your child’s future. We do not underestimate the importance of this decision and are confident that we can find the perfect UK boarding school for you and your child, based on your exact needs.
