School Search Programmes
For
parents with school-age children, the initial task in any move is
to locate potentially suitable schools, determine the availability
of places, and visit a selection of the better prospects. Where
a child's education is at a difficult or demanding stage, as is
often the case with teenagers, family perception of the move can
be very mixed.
Once
again, good quality information is the key to success, and we keep
many guides and publications, such as the ISIS handbooks, in stock
for clients. In order to make effective use of the many data sources,
we also maintain our own computerised schools database, and this
is the core element in our school search programmes. The database
lists all schools in the UK, including special schools and schools
with religious affiliations (e.g. Church of England and Catholic
schools), and has been set up so that, given the age and sex of
the child, and any parental preferences (e.g. single sex schools
only), we can produce a full list of possible schools in any target
postcode area
For
families with pre-school children, we have a database of nursery
and child care services throughout the UK.
Where we are providing a Home Search service, any of the programmes
detailed below may be taken by the employee as non-core optional
service elements, at no additional charge.

Schools
Report |
We
send the family a short questionnaire for each child, and
ask that this be sent back to us as soon as possible. For
each child we produce a report giving brief details and contact
information for all potentially suitable schools in the defined
target area.
This
programme can be taken as part of a four or six day Home Search
programme at no extra charge.

Prospectus
Service |
We
provide the schools report service detailed above, and in
addition ask up to ten selected schools to send their prospectus
directly to the family, or to us for onward courier service
(courier service charges in addition, at cost). This
programme can be taken as part of a four or six day Home Search
programme at no extra charge. |
Accompanied
Visits |
We
arrange chauffeur-driven visits to selected schools, and a
counsellor accompanies the family to provide advice and assistance.
