Guiding families towards Britain’s leading independent schools

C J E has supported over 150 students secure places at the UK's leading independent schools - with 75% placed at a Top 30 school. We understand what these schools are truly looking for, because we've sat on the other side of the table.

​​Why C J E

C J E is built around a different model of educational guidance — one that is personal, experienced and focused on long-term success.

​

Our advice is shaped by first-hand experience within Britain's leading independent schools. Having worked as Housemasters, Heads and senior leaders, our team understands what makes schools distinctive and what allows students to truly flourish.

​

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every student has different strengths, ambitions and aspirations and our role is to understand those differences before guiding families towards the environment where they will thrive.

 

Beyond securing a school place, we remain trusted advisors throughout a student's journey, providing mentoring, support and guidance as they adapt to school life, develop confidence and prepare for future opportunities.

The C J E Difference 

Sedbergh School

Genuine Insider Experience

​

C J E's guidance is shaped by real experience inside British boarding and independent schools - not from studying the process externally. Our understanding of what schools are truly looking for comes from having worked within them directly, including in pastoral leadership roles such as Housemaster, Heads and Senior Leaders.

​

A Personal, Discreet Approach

​

We work closely and directly with each family, rather than handing students off to a rotating team. C J E works with a limited number of  families each year, ensuring every family receives direct, personal attention throughout the process.

​

Guidance That Doesn't End at the Offer

​

Unlike placement services built around a single transaction, C J E remains involved as students settle in, build confidence and grow - supporting the full journey, not just the admissions moment.

Results Built Through Experience

Over the past two years, C J E has supported more than 150 students and families, with over 75% securing places at a Top 30 UK independent school - including offers at schools such as Eton, Oundle and Wellington College.

​

Success, for C J E, isn't measured by an offer alone. It's measured by finding the right environment for a student to flourish

“As a US family unfamiliar with the British education system, we were very grateful to have been introduced to Caven through friends in New York. He guided us through every stage of the admissions process with patience and expertise, helping us navigate school selection, assessments and interviews. Thanks to his support, our son received offers from Eton, Oundle and Wellington College. We would highly recommend him to any family navigating UK school admissions.”

Every educational journey deserves expert guidance.
