Simplifying the Education Journey, Every Step of the Way
Powered by Bonas MacFarlane and the Independent Schools Show, Scholato helps families navigate the independent school journey with clarity, confidence and expert support.
Through personal consultations and carefully considered introductions, we connect families with schools that genuinely fit their child’s ambitions, personality and future pathway.
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.
A more personal way to explore schools
Scholato is designed for families who value expert guidance, trusted introductions and a more thoughtful approach to finding the right school.
Through our unrivalled network and expertise, families benefit from personalised educational support that extends far beyond school admissions, helping every child thrive at each stage of their academic journey.
All Scholato families receive full access to Bonas MacFarlane services, delivered by Britain's best tutors, education consultants and mentors.
