Focused support for school entrance, interviews, assessments and preparation.
Some families need a full school placement programme. Others already know their target schools and need help preparing for the next step. We support students with school entry strategy, academic assessments, interview preparation, entrance tuition, scholarship preparation and English language support.
Full school placement, or focused school entry support?
We can help families at different stages. Some need us to lead the whole school search. Others need specific preparation once the target schools are already known.
Full School Placement
For families who need help choosing the right school, comparing options, understanding admissions routes, planning applications and creating a longer-term education flightpath.
- School search and shortlisting
- Boarding or relocation advice
- Application roadmap
- Academic profile review
- Family decision support
School Entry Support
For families who already have a direction, shortlist or target school and need specialist help preparing their child for entry, interview, assessment or scholarship.
- Academic assessments
- Interview preparation
- Entrance tuition
- Scholarship preparation
- English language support
Choose the support your child needs now.
These services can be used individually or as part of a wider school placement plan.
Academic Assessments
Useful when families need a clearer picture of their child’s academic level before applying to schools or beginning entrance preparation.
Particularly helpful for students moving between systems, home-educated students, or children applying from overseas.
School Interview Preparation
Mock interviews and feedback for students preparing for 7+, 11+, 13+, sixth form entry, boarding school interviews or scholarship interviews.
We help students speak clearly about their interests, strengths, academic thinking and educational journey.
School Entrance Tuition
Subject-specific tuition for students preparing for entrance exams, school-specific papers or key academic transition points.
Where appropriate, tuition may be delivered through our sister company The Education Hotel.
Scholarship Preparation
Academic and interview preparation for students applying for scholarship routes, including subject stretch, confidence and exam technique.
Suitable for students aiming for academic, subject-specific or all-rounder scholarship opportunities.
English Language Support
Support for international students who need stronger English for school entry, interviews, written assessments or confidence in the classroom.
This can be particularly helpful for students entering UK schools after studying in another language or curriculum.
School Advice Sessions
Focused advice for families who are not ready for the full placement programme but need clarity on schools, entry points or next steps.
Ideal for families who need an expert view before deciding whether to move forward with a wider plan.
Some children need their route explained carefully.
Home education, world schooling, international moves, elite sport, acting or flexible education can all be part of a strong application, but schools may need help understanding the student’s academic background and readiness.
This page is especially useful for families who already have a direction, but need targeted support.
You may already know which schools you are considering. You may have been given an interview date, an assessment requirement or a scholarship opportunity. You may simply need to know whether your child is ready, or help them to get to this stage.
In these cases, we can provide focused support without requiring the family to begin a full placement programme. If, during the process, it becomes clear that a wider school search would be useful, we can guide you towards the full School Placement service.
Start with the question in front of you.
“Is my child ready?”
Start with academic assessment or a school advice session.
“We have an interview.”
Start with school interview preparation and mock interviews.
“They need to prepare academically.”
Start with entrance tuition, scholarship tuition or subject-specific support.
“We do not know which schools.”
Start with the full School Placement programme.
Top School and Uni keeps the plan joined up.
Where a student needs subject-specific tuition, entrance preparation or English language support, we may work with trusted specialists from our network, including The Education Hotel.
The important point is that academic support should serve the wider school-entry goal. We help families avoid piecing together disconnected advice, tuition and preparation.
Our role is to help you decide:
- What support is actually needed
- When preparation should begin
- Which areas need academic focus
- How to prepare without overwhelming the child
- When a full placement programme would be more appropriate
Tell us what stage your child is at, and we will recommend the right support.
Whether your child needs interview preparation, academic assessment, entrance tuition, scholarship support, English language support or a full school placement programme, we can help you work out the next step.
