We find that one of the best ways we can help our clients is by educating them on some of the subtleties and nuances of boarding schools in the UK. The best UK private schools all have a unique identity and atmosphere, and more generally there are several elements of daily life that are unique to independent schooling. We find some of the most common questions that parents ask us to be the following:

• What is daily life like in a British boarding school?

• What happens during the weekends at UK boarding schools?

• How can I join top UK schools?

• What is the admissions process for UK boarding schools?

• What are the average fees at UK boarding schools?

• What do British boarding school fees include?

• What happens to international students during the holidays at UK private schools?

• What are the sports and extra-curricular facilities like in UK private schools?

• What is the visa process involved in joining a UK boarding school?

• What are the exam results of a particular British boarding school?

• Which Universities do students from this school join?

• When do we have to apply to join a British boarding school?

• Is it possible to have a single room in a UK boarding school?

• How many people are in the class in a British boarding school?

• How can I be reassured of the pastoral care approach and procedures in the school?

• Does this school have any famous alumni or graduates?

• How many students from this school apply for Oxbridge or medical places?

• Do UK boarding school fees need to be paid up front?

• When does the school year begin in UK private schools and can you join later in the year?

These are just a small selection of the most common questions that parents have for us when we undertake a detailed consultation call. The above are all great questions to be asking and following our consultation calls we will also ensure that you are aware of other questions you may want to be asking, such as the guardianship policy or airport transportation policy. Over the years we have helped parents with all manner of queries that in most cases we will have the answers for you on a call. For more specific questions, we can connect you with the most appropriate person at each school to provide the detail you need.
