Scholarship Senior School Placement & Tutoring

School consultancy & Masterclass tutoring

School placements can be a complex and stressful procedure for families, particularly if they involve an international move or a change of school systems.

Our network of consultants can make this process smooth and seamless, taking the pressure off families as they shortlist and recommend the best-fit schools for the next steps in their child’s education.

Read on to discover how our school placement services helped one student in the hunt for their dream school... 

About the student  

A 16-year-old boy studying in the American school system wanted to move to a top UK boarding school for sixth form. This was to be his second school move in the space of a couple of years, and therefore he had already recently needed to adapt to a new school and a new country.  

The family were based overseas and were unfamiliar with the British school system. This student was searching for an academically rigorous school, as he wanted to move to an exciting and challenging place to expand his studies. He has also previously made an unsuccessful enquiry to the family’s first choice school.  

Working with William Clarence 

When the family came to William Clarence, we assessed the student, made recommendations, and shortlisted schools. We always begin placements with our in-house assessments to ensure we approach placements with a clear understanding of the student’s academic level and ambitions, with a more subject-specific approach for 16+ placements.  

Our consultant amended the list halfway through the process to include several International Baccalaureate (IB) schools as the family’s focus shifted from A-Level to IB options.  

The student was exceptionally bright but found his current studies did not overlap with the content of most 16+ admissions exams in UK schools. Therefore, our consultants arranged for intensive tuition with subject specialist tutors in everything the student would be examined in. 

Due to the time difference with the family’s home country, our consultants and tutors worked outside usual office hours to provide extensive weekend and evening support to the family throughout the placement process. 

Securing a senior school placement 

The student felt well prepared for the examinations and scored highly, significantly increasing his exam scores from the William Clarence initial assessments he had taken at the beginning of the process. He was delighted to be awarded a scholarship to his first choice, a highly competitive school.
