Introduction

This website is designed to provide students, parents and agents with comprehensive and accurate advice on all 25 Consortium schools in one convenient search location. It provides you with a brief introduction and key information on each school as well as convenient and direct access to each school’s own website.

In addition to this our site also provides some useful general information on the British Schools Education system with emphasis on Independent Boarding Schools.

The Consortium Schools have appointed Mr. Michael Couch as their exclusive representative in mainland China to ensure that information provided to students, parents and agents alike is always accurate and up to date. He also acts as the schools initial assessor for the purpose of interviewing, testing and advising prospective students and their agents to ensure that students are appropriately qualified for the schools they are applying to.

By providing such a comprehensive service the Consortium schools hope to reduce the incidence of time wasted and unnecessary costs incurred by students applying inappropriately to schools / programmes they are not suited for. It also avoids the necessity of students travelling to the UK for interview and testing. We therefore hope that you take the initiative and direct your initial enquiries to all Consortium schools through this site as any direct enquiries to the schools will be referred back to us.

UK Independent Boarding schools are widely considered to be the best in the world. They provide not only excellent and consistent academic achievement, but are also recognized for outstanding success in personal development of their students.

Selecting the right school and the right academic pathway to success is no easy matter. It requires a careful balance and match of each individual student’s personal needs and abilities to the school most suited to cater for those needs and abilities.

The Consortium schools are aware that many foreign students require a degree of induction and preparation before joining their mainstream programme and so very specific pre-sessional programmes have been developed by the Consortium schools to address these needs.

Therefore in order to enhance your child’s entrance to their school of choice, you are strongly advised to contact Mr. Couch directly through this “Website” or through your “Educational Agent” in your own country, so that he might provide you with the information and advice you will need for a successful application. This advice and information will be provided free of charge.
