ATTEND A SCHOOL IN ENGLAND FROM £2100 PER TERM – INCLUDING ACCOMMODATION
PREPARE FOR “A”LEVELS
As a family organisation established in 1975, Barnes Educational Services have helped many young students come to England for educational reasons. Many of those have chosen to attend a United Kingdom Sixth Form which is for students aged 16 to 19 so that they can start to prepare for the “A” level examinations and possible entry to university. We have access to some of the finest private and state schools throughout the United Kingdom and can provide a very comprehensive and personal service to parents and students seeking a school place in the United Kingdom. We charge no initial application fee for placements at state day schools. Upon receiving an enquiry we will provide full details of suitable schools and then locate a caring host family once a school has been selected. We also provide a very caring guardianship service that ensures that during the whole length of the stay we are responsible for a student’s welfare. We have our own Local Representative living in or near the area of the school. For students interested in a private or state boarding school we make a small charge for our service details of which will be given when contact is made. Whether your application is for a state or private school we will provide the following service:
Our service is very personal and we guarantee that your application will receive our full attention. We aim to provide you with a school that will best suit the specific needs of your child. In general, our choice is based on the information you provide in the application forms, past school reports and the general impression we may gain following telephone consultancy sessions.
A Different Way of Life
The majority of students from overseas will find that their life at school in England will be rather different from that in their home country. One question which is always asked, concerns school clothes since it is well-known that many schools in England require their pupils to wear a prescribed uniform. Whilst most schools insist on the wearing of a uniform it is now becoming quite common for students of sixth-form age (16+), to be allowed to wear their own choice of clothes, providing extremes are avoided. Application It is best to make application as soon as possible since most schools have only a limited number of places that they can allocate to foreign students. Moreover, early application helps us to do our best for a student, especially where a host family is required. In exceptional cases, we are always prepared to make a very late application for a place to any of the schools on our register and have often been successful. Pre-School Summer Stay Some students feel that it is a good idea to practise their English before commencing attendance at a school and much confidence can be gained by living with a family and attending morning classes. If you are interested in such a stay we can introduce you to an excellent language school where it is possible to follow a short course of study combined with enjoying a few excursion and leisure activities.

Students interested in music, sports and drama will usually find excellent facilities for such in most schools in England since they are generally part of the basic curriculum. All schools offer good sports facilities and it is rare to find a school that does not have an orchestra and a drama group.
