You are no doubt aware that schools in the UK began closing from last week, Friday 20th March, although boarding schools with students who have not yet left will continue to look after them as normal.

The majority of private schools have already established online learning platforms to provide students with a full timetable of lessons and tutor meetings throughout the coming summer term. It is highly unlikely schools will reopen until after the summer holidays.

Students whose GCSEs and A-levels have been cancelled are likely greeting the news with either great disappointment or great relief. A fair solution will undoubtedly be found in due course.

September 2020 Admissions

September is still a good six months away, and it is very much business as a bit unusual. A lot of schools are already full for Sept 2020.

Due to the economic impact of recent events, there could always be drop outs over the coming months, so please contact us if you have still not finalised a place.

Needless to say, schools are currently prioritising student and staff safety over everything else, and the processing of new enrolments is being somewhat delayed in many cases. We appreciate patience and understanding from all our clients in this matter.

September 2021 Admissions

September 2021 is about 18 months away, however this means that applicants for age 13+ entry are already a little late, and age 16+ applicants should start registering by this summer 2020. Please Contact us if in any doubt about suitable school choice or the timelines involved.
