A considered approach to school placement, relocation and long-term academic planning.Relocating to The UK
How do we support families relocating to the UK?Education leads. Everything else follows.
Relocation is structured around the child. We begin by identifying the right school, academic pathway and long-term direction, before shaping the move around those decisions.
Whether relocating permanently or for a defined period, we ensure school placement, location and family arrangements are considered together, bringing clarity to what is often a complex and time-sensitive process.
What we offer
A comprehensive, education-led approach to relocation.
Our work begins with school placement and extends across every element of the move. Each component is coordinated through a trusted network of partners, ensuring decisions are aligned and delivered with clarity.
School & university placement
Education is often the central driver for relocating to the UK. We support placement into leading London independent schools, UK boarding schools and internationally recognised universities, with a focus on academic fit, environment and long-term outcomes.
This includes schools such as St Paul’s, Westminster and Godolphin and Latymer, alongside boarding schools including Eton, Harrow, Wycombe Abbey and Rugby. At university level, our University Admissions work supports pathways into Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Imperial and leading Russell Group institutions.
For older students, this can also include dedicated 16+ & Sixth Form Placement.
Relocation & family coordination
Positioning your family in the right part of the UK is closely tied to schooling and daily life. Whether in central London, Oxford and Cambridge, Surrey and Berkshire or the Cotswolds, we guide location decisions alongside school placement.
Families relocating from New York, Boston, Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong often prioritise proximity to leading schools, international airports and established global communities.
Where London is the principal focus, our London Independent School Placement work allows school choice and location to be considered together.
Concierge & extended family support
We provide discreet support beyond education through our trusted partner network, including property search and household setup, residency and visa guidance, staffing, healthcare and introductions to legal, tax and wealth advisers.
Our role is to act as a single point of coordination, ensuring each aspect of the move is aligned with the family’s longer-term plans.
Admissions & academic continuity
Alongside placement, we provide tailored tuition, entrance preparation and academic mentorship across the British curriculum, including 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+ entry, as well as GCSE, A Level and IB pathways.
Families can access dedicated 7+, 11+ & 13+ Tuition and School Entrance Preparation where required.
For students moving between curricula or entering an examined stage, we can also coordinate Private Tuition, including A Level Tuition and IB Tuition.
Emergency & short-notice placements
For families relocating quickly, we can support mid-year entry, compressed admissions timelines and immediate academic provision while a longer-term placement is secured.
Our Mid-Year & Urgent School Placement service is designed specifically for families whose circumstances fall outside the normal admissions cycle.
