Are you looking for the right school for your child? If you want to find the best school for your child that brings out the best in them, makes them happy and helps them reach their full potential, this weeks episode is a must listen.
I reveal how to pick the best school for your child (and get the offers you want).
Why I created this episode
Finding the right school for your child can be a stressful process.
When a child is unhappy at a school, it can be heartbreaking and give you many sleepless nights. When a child is happy but not being stretched, its disappointing because you don't get to see who they could have been with the right support.
But when you find the right school that gives them a happy childhood, an excellent education and the skills to succeed in whatever they do, you've hit the jackpot.
But figuring out which school will offer that to your child isn't easy. Furthermore, the best schools are often competitive, selective and oversubscribed.
It takes insider knowledge of the school system to more quickly and easily navigate the school system in the UK.
When I started looking at schools for my daughters, I was shocked by how complex the system is.
The best state schools are highly selective and if you find a real gem, it can often be oversubscribed and you need to take the right steps to get an offer.
All private schools are unique and it can be hard to figure out which type school would be best for your child. Single sex or co-ed? Boarding or day? City school or countryside school? Selective or non-selective? Comes with a nursery or no nursery? Academic or Non-academic? A feeder into public schools or not? Not to mention how to get your child a place as some private schools are highly selective or have long waiting lists.
After researching all the options, learning insider tricks, finding the right school for my child and getting offers from all the schools we liked, I realised you may value this information too.
In this episode I break down:
- The 5 myths parents believe that deceive them and make it harder to get their child into the right school
- The history of schools in the UK and USA and why it's important to know the purpose of schools
- How to get clear on which school is right for your child
- Which parents are best suited to home education, state or private
- How to find and get an offer from the best state schools in your area
- How to figure out which private school is best for your child
If you follow the tips in this episode, I'm confident you'll be happy and confident with your choice for your child.
This episode is particularly helpful for parents with children that are approaching reception (elementary) or parents of older children that are looking to move to a new area in the UK.
