Bespoke Advisory Service for Independent School Entry
At Castle Education we thoroughly understand the independent sector and the challenges families face in finding the ideal school. There are a myriad of factors to consider before narrowing your list of options, and you will experience conflicting views and opinions from a variety of avenues including your current school, local dinner party chat and school marketing materials.
In short: The picture becomes confused and distorted!
Experience tells us that no two school searches are the same as no two families are looking for identical requirements and no two school cohorts require the same attributes and qualities. The vast majority of independent schools are outstanding establishments providing fantastic opportunities for young people; but which one works for you as a family?
This is where Castle comes in.
Andrew Monk and his associates have over thirty years of experience in advising and guiding families through this increasingly complex process.
We start by getting to know you all, finding out what you want as a family and what a school needs to provide for you.
School visits follow - either with us accompanying you or reviewing your experiences post visit.
Then we work with you to boost and complement the work your current school is doing to prepare for the entry tests be they ISEB Pre-Tests, 11+ trials, Common Entrance Exams or Scholarship papers.
This also includes interview preparation and group activity advice for part two of the assessment process, as well as thoughts on questions you should ask as parents.
If required, we can also provide subject specialist tutors to enhance techniques required in entrance exams and tests, or to boost knowledge retention as exams loom.
Our current clients are working toward entry to Harrow, Brighton College, Dulwich College, Francis Holland School, Performing Arts, Hampstead, Channing, Queens, Wellington College and Winchester as well as a selection of preparatory boarding and day schools.
