Frequently asked questions
At what age should my child start school in the UK?
The most common entry points are 11+, 13+ and 16+ (sixth form). The right time depends on your child's English and the schools you are aiming for.
How early should we start applying?
Many schools register pupils 2–3 years before entry. For 16+ entry, families usually apply in the autumn of the year before.
Boarding or day school?
Boarding usually suits pupils whose family stays in Türkiye. A day school needs a parent or guardian living in the UK.
How does the first consultation work?
We have a short conversation to get to know your child and your goals, then suggest a roadmap that fits.
