Consultation Before the First Arrival at Boarding School
So that the first day doesn’t come as a shock — but marks the start of a calm and confident journey.

What this service is
A first arrival at a British boarding school isn’t just “a new chapter”. It’s a meeting with a system that runs on its own rules: from morning roll call to lunch dress code, from phrases in the school handbook to unwritten etiquette when talking to teachers.
This consultation is your personal guide to make sure the “new” feels clear — not stressful.

What’s included
✦ School and boarding rules made simple: we break down the key points of the Student Handbook and explain what things like “expected to contribute to house life” really mean in day-to-day life.
✦ How British schools work: how the teaching approach differs, what “independent learning” truly means, and how to build a smart strategy from day one.
✦ Insight into your child’s school: your guardian has visited over 200 schools in the UK and knows the daily routine — including how laundry works (and how not to lose your socks!).
✦ Adaptation to your programme: GCSE, A-levels, IB, BTEC — we’ll talk through what to expect, key milestones, and how to get ready.
✦ Support for parents: we answer your questions about travel, uniforms, traditions, common first-week challenges, and airport pickup (no panic — it’s all manageable).
✦ Preparation checklist: what to pack, what to leave, what to tell your child — and what not to worry about.

Who it’s for
— Families sending a child to boarding school for the first time
— Those who want a smooth, confident start — not a culture shock
— Parents who want to feel prepared, not guessing “what’s expected over there”
