Testimonials
“Our 12-year-old daughter was miserable and so were we. She was being bullied by her classmates and the school couldn’t seem to do anything to help. We were at a complete standstill, but At The School Gates came up with a list of alternatives that we’d never thought of and through their help we eventually found a school where our daughter is very happy.”
“In London, the run up to secondary school admissions is a total nightmare and At The School Gates helped us prioritise the choices we had to make. We found them incredibly knowledgeable about both the state and private system and they helped us get our child into the school that suited her best.”
“We were very unhappy with the new head at the school our daughter had been at since nursery and were thinking of taking her out. At The School Gates helped us explore the alternatives and offered down-to-earth advice about whether to stay at the school or leave. In the end, we decided to stay, but at that point we were confident about our decision.”
“When we were posted to London, we found it virtually impossible to understand the British education system. It just seems the most complicated in the world. At The School Gates gave us a clear picture of the choices available to us and gave us excellent advice about getting our three children into schools where they settled very quickly.”
“Our ward was studying for A Levels at a boarding school in Kent, but was sinking emotionally and academically. We had to act for her parents who live in the Middle East and make a quick decision about finding another school for her. At The School Gates provided invaluable advice about tutorial colleges that specialised in her subjects. In the end, she came out with top grades and a big smile on her face.”
“Our daughter wanted to move from an independent London day school where she’d done her GCSES to a state sixth form. At The School Gates helped us explore the options and analyse the pros and cons. Our daughter is now happy and doing well at the local comprehensive.”
“Our ten-year-old son suffers very badly from dyslexia and had been at a specialist school to help him with his problems. In the end, his progress was so good he was able to return to mainstream education. In London, however, it’s not that easy to find a secondary school that’s happy to cope with severe dyslexia and we didn’t know what to do next. At The School Gates came up with a wide range of options for day and boarding schools, and helped us find a school where we felt he would really thrive.”
