Whether families are just starting to explore secondary school options or already in the application process, this free session offers clear, down-to-earth guidance for every family.
Amber Waite, Principal of St Albans Education Group said:
“There’s a lot of noise around secondary school choices, and we want to make sure parents who are curious about the application process for independent senior schools can cut through it. Our goals for this free event are to give parents a clear picture of how independent senior schools work and advice on what to look for when choosing the right fit for their child.”
