Throughout the weekend, heads and key educational experts will be leading London Choices Workshops – popular 15-minute sessions outlining academic requirements, entry tests, admission deadlines and also time for asking your specific questions in a Q&A.
The Think Academy Theatre will also be hosting quick 30-minute briefings to answer all of your burning questions about independent schools, from how to prepare for the intense competition at 11+ to switching between state and independent systems.
The Good Schools Guide Forum allows you to discuss your child’s potential school choices with top GSG experts and schools, while the Bursary & Scholarships Pavilion will give you a chance to find out which schools offer which schemes. Over 20 schools will be taking part in this, including Eton, St Paul’s Girls’, Cheltenham, Millfield, Marlborough, Shiplake, North London Collegiate, St Paul’s, Christ’s Hospital and Alleyn’s.
Whether you’re looking for schools for your first child or wondering if the switch from state to independent is worth it, this is a great chance to start thinking about your child’s educational path. Their future awaits.
