Frequently Asked Questions
If you are new to the UK independent schools system and don’t know where to start, a consultation with a Bruton Lloyd education consultant is the perfect choice. During the consultation, we will determine the most suitable academic pathway for your child, shortlist boarding or day schools and outline a preparation plan. If you already have some knowledge regarding UK private schools and want to assess your child’s chances for entry to specific schools, a Bruton Lloyd assessment would be the best place to start. We will assess your child’s subject knowledge across the subject spectrum and give detailed instructions to prepare for a successful entry.
A consultation typically lasts 60-90 minutes.
Bruton Lloyd consultations and assessments can be conducted online via Skype and email. Comprehensive assessments for entry to academic schools can be conducted face-to-face at our London offices. If you reside overseas our schools placement package will ensure your child is settled in the UK and supported throughout the academic year.
Private schools are in high demand and entrance examinations require thorough preparation 2-4 years prior. Therefore, we recommend taking a 7+ assessment at age 5, an 11+/13+ assessment at age 9 and a 16+ assessment at age 14.
A Bruton Lloyd assessment lasts approximately 3 hours and includes written papers in Maths, English, Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning, as well as a mock interview.
No. We want to see your child’s unfiltered subject knowledge and true personality to provide the most accurate recommendations possible. Therefore, your child does not need to prepare for the assessment, but we may require school reports and some samples of schoolwork.
