Placement
... A Two Stage Process
The English Education offers support in two distinct stages:
Stage 1 Services
-
The English Education provides a free initial consultation to your family. During this initial discussion, an English Education Consultant will discuss your aspirations, timeframes for application and will, if required, talk parents through the different types of boarding education on offer in the UK. The Consultant will also wish to meet the child and chat to them. This initial consultation is likely to take place via video call and will last up to thirty minutes. Upon agreement that the family will work with The English Education, the Consultant will request current school reports, background information into the child and will conduct a further meeting with parents and child, to gather as much information as possible to enable suitable schools to be researched. The child will complete The English Education’s Academic Profiling Test (APT), an online assessment created to provide a comprehensive assessment of a student’s academic skills. It is a collaboration between experts in assessment, former headmasters and educationalists, using the highest quality teacher-written test questions and adaptive technology and is used to demonstrate performance to future schools or monitor academic progress.

The Consultant will approach a long list of schools with detail about the child. Information about these schools (up to six choices) will be included in an Initial Report, outlining why the schools have been chosen, details about application and next steps. This Stage One work will end with the presentation of the detailed report to the parents, with a final consultation and discussion about choices. All the nominated schools on the short list will have been approached and will have confirmed they are happy to receive an application from the family.
