WELCOME FROM OUR EDITOR INTRODUCING OUR EDUCATION PORTFOLIO: NURSERY THROUGH TO UNIVERSITY Claudia Dudman Editor Independent School Parent is the termly magazine that helps parents make the right choices about their children s education from Nursery through to Sixth Form. Educating a child in the independent sector is a significant investment. We all want to be sure that we send our children to the right school and that they make the most of their opportunity (and our money!) while they are there. To make an informed decision, parents need to understand how the independent school sector works and how they can access it to help their children. Yet for many, the choices can seem a little overwhelming. With separate editions for Prep and Senior schools, Independent School Parent is a magazine with a mixture of intelligent and lively editorial, providing invaluable guidance for the key milestones of a child s school career. Each print edition is delivered, free on request, to schools for onward distribution to their parents. Digital versions are also available. As well as Independent School Parent, we also have our twice yearly Guide to Independent Schools that provides a comprehensive directory of UK independent schools and is the perfect companion for parents seeking to choose the right education and source the right school for their child, with expert advice explaining the stages of private school, entry exams, scholarship process and more. Such is the competition for graduate employment, career planning and forward thinking are key. In The Good Universities Guide we navigate students through the different types of university and colleges of higher education on offer and how to choose the right course. With a national directory of universities and higher education colleges, The Good Universities Guide is here to help students embark upon this crucial next stage of their lives. 2 INDEPENDENT SCHOOL PARENT ISP Portfolio Media Pack 2017.indd 2 09/11/2016 12:05
