London Prep School Placement

Discover how we helped a boy who had recently relocated to London internationally secure a place at the family’s first choice of prep school.  

International relocations can be highly complicated, and families often select schools for their children before moving countries to ensure the relocation goes as smoothly as possible. 

However, once settled, it is not uncommon for parents to choose to move their children to a new school once they have a better understanding of the UK education system and clearer educational goals in mind.  

Here at William Clarence, our dedicated school placement teams have extensive experience of moving children to the right schools for them, enabling them to find a better fit both academically and pastorally. 

Whether you are searching for a prep school placement, a senior school placement, or even a nursery placement, we can help to make recommendations about the best points in the curriculum for children to ensure that they are fully supported and adapt quickly to their new school. 

Here’s how we helped a family who had relocated from the Middle East to ensure they secured a school placement in London at the right prep school for their son.  

London prep school placement for a reception-age child 

About the student 

A boy in Reception, who had recently moved with his family to London from the Middle East 

Educational background 

A family had recently relocated to London from the Middle East. They already had secured a school placement in London for their elder daughter and wanted to move their son from a local nursery to reception at a top London pre-preparatory school. 

Getting to know the family 

Our consultants assessed the student using early years play assessment. We then drew up a shortlist of schools, recognising that the student still needed a little extra help to adapt to the UK curriculum after moving from his previous childcare arrangements.  

Secured a school placement in London 

We worked with the family’s first choice of prep school to secure a space. In addition, given the relocation from the Middle East to the UK, we also arranged for him to repeat a year in order to help the child adapt to the demands of the reception course in his new school.  

Additionally, we also worked together with the family and their top choice of schools to ensure that he was also offered a Year 1 place at the family’s second choice. As such, they had the luxury of choosing the best fit school for their son's needs.
