We have received some lovely feedback from parents of a student we helped place at Sedbergh, a British boarding school in the north of England.

“Dear Gina,

We wanted to send a little update from England and let you know how Stella has been getting on.

Arriving at the Royal Hospital School (RHS) in Year 9 was a huge step for me. Being dropped off by my parents, who travelled back to Germany straight afterwards, left me feeling a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, it was incredibly exciting to begin a new chapter in a different country, with different people and a different language. On the other hand, this could also feel overwhelming at times.

We had another good start to the week, thanks to the following from a family who have just taken the decision on the right British boarding school for their daughter based on our advice and support.

“Dear Gina,

We always enjoy receiving good news from our students, like this from Greta who is enjoying her time at St Clare's Oxford.

Marie is coming home to Germany tomorrow after her brilliant experience at Wellington School.

How about advice on British boarding schools that is described as caring and patient? That’s what Gina has recently been thanked for (again!)…

“Dear Gina,

So far, so good! Mathilda has settled in really well, quickly adjusting to the English school system and boarding school life. She particularly likes how caring, helpful and basically downright nice all the teachers, staff and students are at RHS. Everything is well organised and efficient, for example, changing one of Mathilda’s subjects was sorted out quickly and easily.

Yet another of our clients has been in touch and highlighted why it makes sense to use a boarding school consultant to assist with your child's British boarding school stay. 

“Dear Gina,

We love getting client updates, highlighting why it makes sense to seek a UK boarding school stay.

“Dear Gina,

“Dear Gina,

Many thanks for your email, asking after Ferdinand. He has settled in really well at the Royal Hospital School and is very happy. In only a few days it has really become his school and we’re very happy that he’s there rather than any other.
