Consultancy services – pricing
Tailoring our service for you
For some families, a one-off virtual meeting is enough. For families needing something more detailed and in-depth, our consultants will work with you to research possible schools, based on all the factors that are important to you, from location to timings, academic results to support with learning, to ensure that we find a school where your child will thrive.
We can be with you every step of the way, starting with an initial meeting, reporting on schools tailored to your circumstances and guiding you through each stage of the admissions process. We will by your side to guide you through this important decision from start to finish.
Our most popular services
Virtual Meetings – to advise about a range of issues including the education landscape as well as up to four schools you wish to discuss
Classic School Search to shortlist schools that will meet your child’s individual needs and your particular circumstances.
Premier School Consultancy where our consultant will be with you throughout the process, shortlisting schools, effecting introductions and liaising with the admissions offices to ensure that your child secures a place at the right school.
Pricing to match your requirements
All our services are priced according to the amount of time involved and the complexity of each case.
All our consultants are also writers and reviewers for The Good Schools Guide – which means that as a team we have first-hand insights into a large number of schools in specific areas. Each enquiry is handled by the director of consultancy together with the office and consultancy manager who will match each enquiry with the most suitable consultant. We will be ready to work with you as soon as you need us.
Thank you so much for your time when we met, and for summarising your thoughts. We found the session extremely useful - we feel we have a much clearer view of how we should approach the long list of schools, and we also feel more comfortable with the balance of the ones we have on the list too, and which the frontrunners are likely to be.
December 2024We are so very grateful for your time and expertise as well as acumen and willingness to understand the individual case. Thank you so much.
January 2024You offer such a valuable service and I am much more confident about the meeting in the morning.
October 2024We just wanted to send a note to thank you for all your advice and support throughout this process. Your insights have been invaluable, and we are especially grateful for the time you took to speak with us out of hours.
September 2024Just a word to say how much we appreciate the fabulous work The Guide is doing on behalf of families as they try to make the best decisions for their children - thank you.
