The independent schools guide, 2009-2010 : a fully comprehensive directory

Fewer decisions are harder to make for a parent than finding a suitable school for their child. "The Independent Schools Guide", now in its 14th edition, provides the detailed information parents need to make a fully-informed choice.

It includes extensive indices for over 2,000 schools, classified by country, religious affiliation, sex and provision for special needs.

There is also useful advice on school fee planning, plus details of scholarships, bursaries and other awards.

The book also includes guidance for international parents, providing helpful advice on language support and guardianship for children attending boarding schools in the UK.

Complete with a parents' guide to the sixth form and beyond (covering university entry and careers) and a directory of useful addresses and associations, this is invaluable reading for any parent seeking educational advice on the best place to send their child.
