Application Guidance

Home / Application Guidance

There are seven key steps to apply to a UK independent school.  

  1. Learn about the UK independent school system and decide which entry point would be the right age to send your child. 
  2. Choose a group of target schools and register your child for entry before registrations close (this could be up to three years in advance of entry). 
  3. If possible, visit the schools before the assessments so your child knows what the school is like and what to expect.  
  4. Understand when the assessments will be and what your child will need to do, which could be different for each school.   
  5. Help your child to get ready for their assessments and interviews.  
  6. Take your child to attend the assessments and interviews at the school.  
  7. Wait for the results! 

 

How it works at BE

Book a consultation and speak to our team

Communicate with our consultants about your current situation and your aims and expectations for your child’s UK school placement.   

Schedule a pre-test for your child

Our staff will contact you to schedule a one-on-one interview and pre-test for your child, which includes both a written test and a computerised test. 

Feedback, determine entry point and match with target schools

Based on your child’s current situation, test results and interview, our consultant will complete an initial assessment report, clearly stating areas for improvement and areas of strength of your child and providing a list of suitable UK schools. 

Customise personalised service plan

Based on your child’s current academic situation, our consultant team will create a customised programme for their UK school applications with short-term and long-term planning, as well as academic course planning.  

Submit the application

Our consultant team will assist you through every step of the application process. When writing personal statements, we do not write directly, but discuss and provide guidance to each child. 

Prepare for exams and interviews of target schools

For each of your child’s target schools, our consultant team will provide academic and interview training so that your child can confidently answer any questions asked by the school admissions officer. 

Visit schools/summer course planning

Organise and accompany families on school visits. Make recommendations and assist with choice of academic summer courses where required. 

Apply for the visa (if needed)

After receiving offers and choosing your final target school, a visa specialist is available to help you process your visa application, and guide you throughout to smoothen the enrolment process for your child. 

Arrange accommodation and guardian (if needed)

For those who require it, we will arrange accommodation and a guardian for your child in the UK. They can help to answer any questions and arrange daily activities to ensure that your child can adapt to study and life in the UK as soon as possible. 

Admission materials

Includes the collection and collation of materials such as basic student information, vaccines, school uniforms and the admission confirmation letter. 

Admission and follow-up services

After your child is enrolled at the UK target school, if you require it, our consultant team will continue to follow his/her learning, maintain close contact with the school staff and arrange for him/her to take remedial courses during the holidays.
