• Navigate the pathways available for secondary education, such as comprehensive schools, grammar schools, and independent secondary schools (both day and boarding).
• Receive insights into transitions from primary to secondary and to post-16 education, including A-levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), vocational qualifications, and apprenticeships.
• Understand the provisions for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) within mainstream and special schools.
• Explore how cultural, social, and religious factors may influence schooling choices and experiences in the UK.
• Gain practical advice and strategies for evaluating and selecting the best-fit school for your child, considering factors such as academic offerings, extracurricular activities, and ethos.
