UK education

Admissions support for families who need the right UK pathway, not a school list.

SM Concierge coordinates school selection, application planning, entrance preparation, guardianship, and family logistics for internationally mobile families considering UK education.

What we handle

Education placement shaped around the child and the family.

  • Private school placement planning for prep, senior, boarding, and day schools.
  • Oxbridge, Russell Group, and specialist university admissions pathway support.
  • Entrance exam, interview, UKISET, 11+, 13+, and sixth-form preparation coordination.
  • Guardianship, travel, accommodation, and family relocation logistics.
  • Ongoing academic monitoring and concierge support once the pathway is active.

Family fit

Prestige alone is a weak admissions strategy.

Selective UK education works when timing, academic profile, personality, family expectations, guardianship, and logistics are considered together. Our team makes the route clear before applications begin.

FAQ

Clear answers before you make a request.

How do I get my child into Eton or Harrow?

Entry typically needs early registration, entrance exams and interviews. SM Concierge coordinates school selection, application management, and introductions to specialist tutors and interview coaches. We cannot guarantee a place.

What age should I register for UK boarding schools?

For the most competitive schools, families often register years ahead of entry. For many boarding schools, 2–3 years before the intended year is a practical window. SM Concierge advises on timing and manages the registration pack; each school sets its own rules.

What is the 11+ and 13+ exam?

The 11+ is usually taken around age 10–11 for Year 7 entry. The 13+ (Common Entrance) is taken around age 12–13 for Year 9 entry. SM Concierge coordinates specialist tutoring; we are not an exam board.

Do you help with Oxford and Cambridge applications?

Yes. We coordinate course selection, personal-statement review, admissions-test preparation and interview practice with specialist partners, including former admissions tutors where available. Offers remain the university’s decision.

What guardianship services do you offer for international students?

We coordinate guardianship through qualified UK guardians: emergency contacts, school liaison, airport transfers, half-term and holiday accommodation, and progress updates for parents abroad. Arrangements depend on the school’s approved-guardian rules.
