Amir and Nadia were relocating from Dubai with their two sons aged 8 and 12. They wanted their sons to attend a local state school.
We had identified where they wanted to live in London and the best schools in the area. Both schools were oversubscribed and both children were put on wait-lists. The choice of home came down to one of two properties: the most expensive, (of course!), being closest to their schools of choice for their sons. They were advised to rent the home closest to the schools as proximity to the school is usually the main criteria for offering a child a place. Within 10 days of submitting their applications, both children were offered places at their state schools of choice.
For their eldest child, we also helped them with the application process and entrance exam into the local state grammar school for entry one year hence.
Result: a very happy family.
