Every conversation shaped around you
We've shaped our services around the different milestones on the typical education journey, so that whatever stage you're at, there's a way to work together that makes sense. What that looks like in practice is different for every family — because no two children, schools or sets of circumstances are the same. The packages below are a framework, not a formula. They give you a clear sense of how we typically work and what that involves, but we treat them as a starting point rather than a fixed menu. Once we've had a proper conversation with you about your child and what you're navigating, we'll put together a tailored proposal that reflects exactly what you need.
Where we can help
Initial Consultation
This is set up at a mutually convenient time and can be either in person or online. It is usually about an hour and you can expect this to be an exploratory, confidential conversation regarding your concerns and whether our approach aligns with your needs.
Questionnaire & Tailored Report
After completing your questionnaire with you, we prepare a tailored report for your child and your family. This is a deeply forensic and personalised report to your child and family with clear pros and cons measured against the criteria we have gathered from your questionnaire. We stay in close contact with you during this time so that you know how the work is progressing but also to for us to clarify any points that may be necessary.

Annual review of existing clients
We believe in transparent, fixed fee pricing , agreed before we begin. We never receive commissions, referral payments or incentives from any school. The practice is not currently VAT registered. Fees shown are the full amount payable.
Expert guidance is not an extravagance - it's due diligence
Please reach us at info@findtherightschool.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The first conversation is offered without charge. It serves as a mutual introduction and gives the family the opportunity to complete a questionnaire that establishes what is being looked at. From there, a tailored scope of work and fee quotation are prepared for the family's approval. No work begins and no costs incurred until both are agreed in writing. Fees vary, because every engagement is shaped to the family it serves.
Initial contact can be made by phone call, whattsapp, or email and a response can be expected within 24 to 36 hours. The first conversation is exploratory - its purpose is to understand, at a high level, what the family is looking for and wether the practice is well placed to help. A further call or meeting is then arranged to work through the questionnaire that anchors every engagement.
The practice operates with complete discretion. Its role it to prepare and support the family privately - through shortlisting, application drafting, interview preparation and ongoing counsel - while the family may elect to remain it's own face to the schools under consideration. The practice does not announce itself to schools in the course of application. Where direct contact with the schools would be useful - that contact is only made with the family's prior knowledge and agreement and where the practice's own existing relationship with the school makes it genuinely constructive.
The work is structured so that this scenario is unlikely. Recommendations are built on a current view of which schools have realistic capacity at the right point of entry and how the family's brief maps to that. Aspirational schools may form part of a longer term plan where the family chooses to pursue them but they are never put forward as the only route. The aim is to set the family up for success rather than to defend a position afterwards - and where the unexpected does occur - the practice continues alongside the family until a path forward is found.
Yes. All conversations, documents and personal information shared with the practice are treated in strict confidence and are not disclosed to any third party without the family's express consent. That practice is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office under registration number CSN 3662447. At the outset of every engagement, families are asked to sign a written agreement that records how their personal data is being held, the purposes for which it is used and how long it is retained.
The process is structured to prevent that outcome. The brief is agreed in writing, the questionnaire grounds the work in your family's actual circumstances and we remain in contact during drafting so there are no surprises at delivery. If something has been missed or misunderstood, one round of clarifications and minor revisions is included. Substantive scope changes are re-quoted. The work is fixed-fee and no consultancy can promise a particular outcome - but every effort is made to ensure the report you receive is the report you commissioned.
