ritish education is considered the best in the world: academically outstanding, but holistic rather
than prescriptive in approach – the education of the mind and body, fostering independent
learning and unlocking potential wherever it can be found.
One of the most important responsibilities one has, as a parent, is to help guide one’s children
on the choice of school. Each child’s needs are so very different and the correct selection paramount.
Insperata Floruit
works in partnership with:
• overseas families wishing to find the most appropriate British educational establishment for their
children, and
• an élite group of UK boarding schools that offer the highest academic standards and results, and have
a wide and diverse extra curricula programme. These schools accept only a few international pupils,
from a range of different countries.
Prior to making a choice of school, we strongly recommend that:
• you talk to one of our experienced team at
Insperata Floruit
so that we can guide you towards the
school that is academically and socially most appropriate for your child,
• we meet the pupil two or three times prior to making a recommendation to ensure that we fully
understand them and their needs.

To enable us to offer meaningful advice to parents on the most appropriate school we recommend that
the child sit the UKiset test (
.
This test measures potential rather than learnt
facts.
In this brochure we have taken a small selection from our partnership schools. Firstly the Public schools:
•
Abbots Bromley
for its outstanding dance and equestrian facilities.
• Every pupil at
Dauntsey’s
learns how to sail on Jolie Brise it’s own world famous gaff-rigged pilot
cutter.
•
Kilgraston
, a traditional all-girls school near Edinburgh offering a fine academic education for those
who would like to be leaders tomorrow.
•
King’s College
sensibly balances the academic programme with the sport, and some quite extreme at
that: a group of 17 set off for Kenya this summer to climb Kilimanjaro.
•
Kingswood
, located in the World Heritage city of Bath, fields each year teams for the challenging Ten
Tors endurance march on Dartmoor. When the going gets tough in life, Kingswood pupils will look
back and realise that it will never be tougher than this event.
•
Oswestry
, ‘a small, traditional British school… with a personal approach. Family values and a close-knit
community breeds confidence and stability for all the pupils… a home away from home.’
•
PadworthCollege
, close to London andReading, with its relaxed atmosphere, has an enviable reputation
for getting overseas pupils’ English up to a very high standard and at the same time producing first
class exam results.
•
St Clare’s Oxford
, a leading sixth form college, offers the International Baccalauréat to children wishing
to have a broader curriculum than is on offer at the traditional A Level syllabus schools.
• At
St Edward’s
one learns how to think, not what to think.
•
Sedbergh
has an enviable reputation on the sports field and offers a staggering 35 sporting activities
•
Tudor Hall
, a smart school for smart girls. The academic results are excellent, produced by young
women who have been selected for places at the school not just on their academic ability but also
their personal strengths.
•
Wrekin College
is over 130 years old, with all the traditions of an English education. But it is also a
cosmopolitan, vibrant community. A school where pupils understand that a first-rate education is a
privilege, and one they have a duty to live up to.
And so to the selection of prep schools:
•
Port Regis
, with its truly outstanding sports facilities.
•
St Richard’s
in Herefordshire, where all the pupils are so happy they even find the classroom activities
a treat!
