20 Years of Helping Families Choose the Right School
By understanding each child’s unique strengths, interests and ambitions, we make thoughtful introductions to schools where they can flourish and fulfil their potential.
The service is led by Fiona Hughes D'Aeth, who has over 30 years of experience as a teacher, governor and consultant. She brings a parent's perspective, her own four children were educated at schools and universities in the UK and US.
How It Works
A personalised approach to finding the right educational fit for your child.
1. Personal Consultation
Every Scholato family begins with a one-to-one consultation with our advisory team.
We take time to understand your child’s academic profile, personality, interests, ambitions and educational priorities.
2. Thoughtful School Introductions
Following your consultation, we introduce you to schools that we believe could be an excellent fit.
These are warm, informed introductions - helping conversations begin with context, understanding and shared expectations.
3. Ongoing Guidance
The admissions process can feel overwhelming and fast-moving.
Scholato provides ongoing support, updates and guidance throughout the year, helping families stay informed and organised at every stage.
