There’s a lot of “Where do we start?” from the international families we talk to when it comes to organising a UK boarding school for their children. “There’s over 450 UK boarding schools to choose from.. where do we start?”
Ok, your child’s been accepted and everyone is excited. However there is still a way to go in terms of preparation before they arrive at the boarding school gates..
Awaiting results can be an anxious time. If you’re feeling stressed, talking to a friend or family member about how you’re feeling can make a big difference. To manage this uncertain time, have a Plan B and C – in case Plan A doesn’t work out. Basically, be prepared.
The summer holidays for teenagers awaiting A level results is one big pressure pot, bubbling away. Emotions will be running high on the lead up and on 17 August. Not just for A level students but also for the IB students who didn’t get the UCAS points that they needed for the university of their choice. This is crunch time.
We have always whole-heartedly supported the work that goes into all the amazing partnerships between independent and state schools.
Is the IB the right route to pursue for your child? One size doesn’t fit all. It really does depend on your child’s individual strengths and needs.
