Securing a Place at Britain’s Leading Schools Requires Strategic Guidance
No two children follow the same educational path and the guidance they receive should reflect their individuality. At CJE, our school placement service is highly personalised, shaped around each child’s academic strengths, character, aspirations and long-term potential.
We work closely with families to identify not only the right schools, but also the most appropriate and strategically advantageous points of entry, including 7+, 8+, 11+, 13+ and 16+, across Britain’s leading day and boarding schools.
Our approach extends well beyond securing offers. We focus on preparing each child to thrive within a competitive boarding school environment, developing confidence, readiness and a strong sense of fit alongside academic preparation. Whether planning several years in advance or navigating an imminent admissions cycle, families receive clear, discreet and carefully considered guidance at every stage.
Results Built Through Experience
Exceptional school outcomes come from expert guidance, careful preparation and a deep understanding of each student's individual strengths.
At CJE Educational Consultancy, we combine first-hand experience within Britain's independent school sector with personalised mentoring and strategic admissions advice to help families navigate some of the UK's most competitive school environments.
Over the past two years, we have supported more than 150 students and families, with over 75% of students securing places at a Top 30 UK independent school.
Our approach is centred around understanding each student as an individual — identifying the schools where they will thrive, preparing them with confidence and supporting them throughout their educational journey.
For CJE, success is not simply measured by an offer. It is measured by finding the right school environment where students can grow academically, socially and personally.
* Based on CJE-supported students over the past two years. Top 30 refers to leading UK independent schools by sector recognition and academic reputation.
Continued Guidance Beyond Placement
Our involvement does not conclude once a school place has been secured. For internationally based families, sending a child into boarding school life overseas can bring an entirely new set of practical and emotional considerations, particularly during the early weeks and months of transition.
CJE remains closely available following arrival to provide reassurance, perspective and discreet support wherever needed — offering families a trusted UK-based point of contact as children settle, adapt and grow in confidence within their new school environment.
Why Families Choose C J E
Families choose CJE not simply for school recommendations, but for the confidence that comes from experienced, highly personalised oversight at every stage of an unfamiliar and often high-pressure process.
With over 30 years of senior boarding school experience and a detailed understanding of the individual character of Britain’s leading schools, we offer independent advice that is strategic, discreet and deeply informed.
