How to Choose the Right School for your Child

The Independent Schools Show 2016 -
Featuring: Barnaby Lenon, Chairman of the Independent Schools Council

Barnaby Lenon alleviates parents’ anxieties about choosing the right school for their child.
Fundamental questions - such as: “boarding or day?” - come into play when picking the most suitable independent school.

During this talk, Barnaby addresses these sorts of questions by comparing both the advantages and the disadvantages of each option. Potential pitfalls are discussed - such as paying too much attention to league tables and making your child commute long distances each day to the supposedly “better” school. Parents are given various recommendations, like listening to the Head of their child’s Prep School when deciding on the right sort of Senior School. Barnaby emphasises the importance of careful and timely research that parents should carry out well in advance of application time.

All these helpful tips, and many more, are offered to parents by one of the education sector’s leading experts.
