School admissions made simple…

Mums In The Wood – Education

A Personalised Schools Consultancy

Who are we? 

Mums In the Wood – Education is a personalised educational consultancy offering a bespoke service for parents who are looking for  individual advice, tailored to their specific needs.

As a mother who has just been through the process myself, I understand how daunting a task it may seem, to find a private school in North West London for your child. This is especially so, for first time parents or those who are not familiar with the area or the system. The whole school admissions process can be so stressful and confusing.

I hope to make this period a little easier for concerned parents so that they can spend those first years, enjoying and playing with their children while at the same time laying the educational foundations that will stand them in good stead in the years to come.

As such, I have set out to provide  free information, advice and resources to many parents who need a base from which to work on, via this website which has an enormous amount of information and insights into the education system. Moreover, having forged strong relationships with local schools, I have been fortunate to have been invited to visit and conduct exclusive interviews with many schools, regarding their admissions policies and ethos among other relevant factors.

For parents who want more information and bespoke advice, I provide consultancy services and packages depending on what your requirements are. The service I offer, is a unique and insightful one which provides parents with in-depth insights into the school system as well as first hand experience of local schools.

Whom do we help? 

• parents living in North  London who are unaware of school requirements or the application process;
• parents living in North  London looking for suitable nurseries to enter as a precursor to entering the private school system;
• parents relocating to North  London from other parts of the country or from overseas on a medium or long term basis;
• corporate clients; and
• agents acting on behalf of clients based anywhere in the world and looking to move to North West London.

“The (4+ assessment) talk was more about practical stuff rather than the system so it was v useful for me. Helped me understand what expectations the schools really have. (It) cover(ed) a lot of useful stuff and helped me to start to plan things to do in the afternoons a bit better.” – TG
