School Placement

Stage 1

Initial conversation with the family to identify their needs, requests and preferences. Discuss the desired education pathway for the child. Conduct an initial assessment of the child (academics, pastoral, interests and preferences).

Stage 2

After the initial assessment, the consultant creates a personalised list of schools based on the student's profile and family preferences, considering factors like academics, reputation, facilities, and cultural fit. Families are encouraged to explore the shortlisted schools further through various resources.

Stage 3

Visiting schools is crucial for decision-making. Parents and students, often with an advisor, explore the atmosphere, meet teachers, and attend taster days to gain firsthand insight and narrow options.

Stage 4

Once final schools are selected, the application process begins, requiring academic records, a personal statement, and references. Consultants assist in crafting compelling applications and preparing for entrance exams and interviews.

Stage 5

Entrance exams are crucial for acceptance at UK schools, assessing mathematics, English, and reasoning skills. Interviews evaluate personality and interests, while expert guidance includes tutoring, mock interviews, and exam practice for success.

Stage 6

Once a school makes an offer, parents can accept or decline within a specific timeframe. After acceptance, the Kesho team provides ongoing support before the child travel to schools. Further services are available to support the family and child whilst in the UK.
