Helping internationally mobile families find the right school, the right university and the right path forward.
Top School and Uni supports families navigating UK schools, boarding, university applications, Oxbridge, medicine and global pathways, especially where the student’s education journey has not followed a traditional route.
Some students do not fit neatly into one education system. That should not hold them back.
We specialise in supporting internationally mobile families: home-educated students, world-schooled learners, young athletes, actors and students moving between countries, curricula and academic expectations.
Families come to us with questions.
What school is best for my child? How can I tell if they will thrive there? What does CAF mean? When do we need to apply to Eton? How do we explain home education, world schooling, elite sport, acting or a move between school systems?
Applying to schools and universities can be confusing, especially when the route has not been completely traditional. There are league tables, entrance tests, interviews, odd deadlines, personal statements, academic requirements and different expectations in every system.
We help families cut through the noise, understand what each school or university is really looking for, and build a clear plan around the student in front of us.
We support students who are:
- Moving between countries or school systems
- Applying to UK schools from overseas
- Considering boarding or guardianship
- Home educated or world schooled
- Training as athletes alongside academics
- Working as actors or performers
- Applying to UK, US or global universities
- Preparing for Oxbridge, medicine or competitive courses
From leading UK schools to competitive university pathways.
We support families applying to selective schools, boarding schools, Oxbridge, medicine and global university routes.
School placement experience
We support families considering leading UK schools, including day schools, boarding schools, prep schools, senior schools and sixth form entry.
Families often need advice on school fit, admissions timelines, entrance tests, interviews, scholarships and how to position a student whose academic journey has been international or non-traditional.
University application outcomes
The standard Oxbridge success rate in 2021 was 16%. Our Oxbridge success rate that year was 52%.
The national average medicine application has around a 17% chance of success. Students supported by Top School and Uni have had a 70% medicine admission rate over the last three years.

Two key stages. One joined-up approach.
Some families come to us for school placement. Others need university application support. Many need a longer-term strategy that connects both.

Expert guidance, personal attention and a clear plan.
We combine education consultancy, academic preparation and mentoring, so families do not have to piece together advice from several different places.
Personalised advice
We look at the individual student, not just the school name, university ranking or course title.
Specialist preparation
Our team can support entrance exams, interviews, subject preparation, admissions tests and academic confidence.
Calm family support
We help parents understand what matters, what to prepare and how to support their child without taking over.
Global perspective
We work with families moving between education systems, considering UK schools, US colleges and international pathways.
We believe the best education decisions balance ambition with fit.
Families often come to us because they want the very best for their child, but they do not want to make decisions based only on prestige, panic or pressure. We help you understand where your child can be stretched, supported and successful.
