Overview

Choosing the right independent school for your child is a very difficult process. In a highly competitive and pressured market, it is easy to be pushed or pulled in the wrong direction by unhelpful or biased advice. Myriad schools' guides, lifestyle magazines and website directories vie for attention. The result is that independent schools become objectified as a form of financial status symbol; or are selectively chosen for 'education guides' based purely on a perceived social cachE rather than the quality of education on offer. There is a complete lack of truly impartial, free advice for parents who are trying to navigate the admissions process. This book solves the problem. Written by some of the leading Heads in the country, it offers expert advice whether you are looking for a prep or senior school for your child. This book aims to shine a light on an otherwise bewildering market for the first-time parent. It debunks the myths and aims to empower parents to make the right choices. The goal in this process is to find a school at which your child will be happy and therefore thrive academically as well as emotionally. If your child is miserable and struggling to cope with the pressure, the process will have failed. You need to find a school at each stage - prep and senior - which correctly balances the academic with the extracurricular and achieves a mix which suits your child. In each chapter in this book, the author tries to shine a light on a particular aspect to consider in this process. At the end, we hope that the task will be clearer and you will be able to confidently move forward with your search.
