The Independent Schools Show gives parents a rare chance to put their questions directly to leading heads and education experts.

One of the big debates, should your child stay in the same school all the way from Nursery through to Sixth Form?

A generation ago, all-through (2'18) schools were unusual. Today, they're becoming the norm in the independent sector, though still far less common in state education. But is this shift a good thing for children and families?

Join us at the Autumn Show to hear expert insights and get answers to this and all your key education questions.

'Through School' Choices

In the past the private sector tended to divide up by age band with separate schools for Nursery & Pre-Prep (2-7), Prep (8-13) and Senior (13-18).' These days many private schools have merged and children can go all the way through from 2-18.'

This raises important questions for parents at every stage of the school journey:

• Will staying in one school from start to finish make my child's educational path easier?

• What are the academic and social impacts of attending an all-through (2'18) school?

• If my child joins partway through, how easily will they fit in?

• If we do decide to move schools, what are the best ages to make the transition?

1-1 Conversations with the Experts

At the Show parents can speak directly with admissions teams and headteachers from leading private schools. '

These 1-1 conversations will make all the difference as you plan the next steps for your children.'

Thousands of parents use the Show each year as a vital aid to help them find the perfect school.

Join us on October 9th to start exploring whether a private school education should be part of your child's future.
