About Schools provided us with information, advice and guidance during our son’s preparation for the 11+ assessments and with his secondary school options. Our son is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and whilst he is academically able, pastoral care was of significant importance to us, in selecting a suitable mainstream independent school. 

About Schools supported us in navigating the 11+ assessment process and in applying to a focused selection of independent schools which met our son’s academic and pastoral needs. Knowing that co-education and proximity to our home were also of importance, they worked with us to signpost schools which met our criteria.

Following the 11+ exams and during the interview stages, About Schools helped us to select a highly ranked, independent secondary school in North London. Our son has settled well into his academic journey at this school and we are extremely happy with the recommendations made by Mr Bhanshaly and his team. We had a very positive experience working with About Schools and we would recommend them to families approaching the 7+ and 11+ assessments.
