The Autumn show is your chance to plan the next steps of your child's educational journey, from early years to sixth form.

Thursday 9 October | 09:15 - 15:30

RHS Lindley Hall, Elverton Street
London SW1P 2QW

To help you navigate key entry points, the show features two theatres with talks tailored to parents considering every option, from nurseries and day schools in London, to the best boarding and out-of-London choices.

This is your opportunity to have those all-important, in-depth conversations with admissions teams, headteachers and educational advisors that can make all the difference when finding the perfect school for your child.

Bringing The Good Schools Guide to life, this Autumn's Forum drills into the big decisions parents face:

• What makes a great school? What parents should look for when choosing a school.

• Bursaries & scholarships: what’s really available now that VAT has come in?

• Staying in one school from 2-18: is it good for a child's social and academic development?

• Should girls and boys learn separately?

The Good Schools Guide experts speaking in the Forum and interviewing leading heads have literally written the book on school choices, and have unparalleled expertise helping parents.

On the Think Academy Stage we ask heads and education experts to answer key questions parents want answered.

This Autumn we are asking:

• How to get in?  A clear explanation of how to plot a route through the world's most competitive school system. 

• Is private education worth it? When, why, and how it pays off – or doesn’t. 

• Would your child suit a highly selective school?

• Why do 50% of London families use a tutor?
