Education Planning

Bespoke Education Plans - IEP - Individual Education Plan

Studying in the UK offers the most authentic experience. Students are immersed in the culture from which their examinations have emanated. The nature of the curriculum places an emphasis on the application of knowledge to novel situations and the requirement to approach responses analytically and critically.

For an international student more than any other perhaps, the experience of a boarding education
has changed enormously over the last few decades. Boarding schools in the UK are not in the
business of trying to ‘anglicise’ international pupils. Britain itself is an increasingly international
and multi-cultural place.

Education is changing

Education is changing. Therefore education planning is becoming more and more individual. Technology continues to have an increasingly significant impact on education. Technology does this as it affects the form and distribution of learning materials. Books have become e-books (and/or PDFs) and in-person tutors have become online tutors. This year, many teachers became online teachers. Learning live online is now better.

Why not read more about online learning through video courses.

International pupils reap the benefits of a broad and challenging academic and pastoral experience at their new schools. Making international school placements work is a big challenge.

Suitability cannot be based on league-table rankings or raw academic scores. Therefore pupil assessment has to look much deeper. The English Education Guaranteed, launched at the end of July, assures placement at one of our member schools. Dependent upon the applicant passing through our initial assessment process. At the heart of this service is our focus upon each applicant’s individual needs, and on securing the right student for the right school. Our clients undertake our Learner Profile Assessment. This assessment incorporates a video interview and a six-point evaluation. Read more about a different approach to international school placement.

Our Top Ten Study Skills Tips

Welcome to our 10 Top Tips to help you improve your own Study Skills.

Find time to study – Firstly, if you manage your time badly, inevitably you will be less productive than if you manage it well. This can lead to increased stress and anxiety levels, especially around exam time.
Keep to a routine– Secondly, try to work in the same place at the same time each day. Also, make sure you have everything you need before you start.
Work to your strengths– And also try to schedule challenging tasks for when you are most alert, and routine ones for when you may be feeling more tired.
Don’t waste time – Rather than reading irrelevant material, skim and scan to help you decide if you need to read something critically and in-depth.
Avoid distractions– also, you must sitch emails and social media off to prevent your mind wandering while trying to learn new information!
Regularly review your notes– Plus you should try to cut out what you don’t need. Ask yourself the question: “Is this information is relevant to my assignment, and how does it relate to what I already know.”
Vary how you to take notes – We suggest that you use Mind Maps and diagrams to generate ideas and linear notes to focus your ideas for essay or report plans.
Be critical– And also remember to ensure that you always add your own comment to every concept or quotation that you write down. Maintain a critical and analytical approach at all times!
Plan your work– If writing an assignment produce a detailed plan before you start to write it. This will make the drafting process much less stressful
Understand different styles – So, by understanding different writing styles – such as academic, journal and journalistic styles – you can put what you read into perspective. In particular, you can become more aware of any particular bias.
