The Independent School Preparation Programme
We'll help your child to secure a place at one of the country's most prestigious schools.
What Is The Independent School Preparation Programme?
The programme is a 12-week transformational course that provides ambitious children with the knowledge, skills and tools that they need to pass the school entrance exams for leading independent schools.
The programme focuses on helping pupils to make rapid academic progress but also provides mindset coaching to help them prepare for academic life at top schools. We therefore cover topics such as interview practice, etiquette and social education.
Over the course of 3 months, we work intensely with your child, teaching them the various topics they need to significantly boost their English and Maths scores. However, we don't just focus purely on academic teaching, we also spend time each week covering topics such as:
✅ Handling nerves and anxiety
✅Resilience and growth mindset training
✅ How to adapt to a new school environment and what to expect
✅How to build an outstanding portfolio that WOWs admissions tutors and headteachers (this is essential for those applying to schools such as Westminster, Harrow and Eton)
WEEKLY TUITION LESSONS AND MASTERCLASSES WITH EXPERTS
Classes are held every Saturday (during term time) from 10am-1pm (GMT).
Pupils learn Maths and English for an hour each and the following hour includes holistic masterclasses on topics such as resilience, growth mindset, exam skills and interviews with current and former Etonians.
MORE THAN JUST TUITION
We don't just focus on teaching your child the academic element of the exam, we also place great emphasis, time and dedication towards teaching them the skills that they need to stand out during the application process.
TOP-UP SESSIONS WITH EXPERT TUTORS
We work with both you and your child to create their personalised portfolio and through personalised coaching, we give them first-hand guidance on how to maximise their chances of securing a place.

INVEST IN YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE
ETIQUETTE TRAINING
Schools like Eton want to attract society's future noblemen. We therefore prepare our pupils for life at Eton (and similar schools) through masterclasses on social etiquette. This helps to ensure that they create a fantastic impression during their interview and that they can easily transition into life at Eton.
ISEB PREPARATION
Our tutors are experts at helping children to pass the ISEB and subsequent exams. By enrolling them in this programme, you're significantly boosting their chances of passing the ISEB with flying colours.
ACADEMIC COACHING
When your child starts learning with us, they're assigned an academic coach who contacts them throughout the week to check on their progress, provide feedback on their work and help them to tackle any issues that might be hindering their progress. This approach enables your child to have the very best support and tuition throughout.
