Independent Schools
Honest, impartial advice on choosing a school. Helping families find the school where their child will thrive.
Why BISA?
Choosing the right Senior School can feel overwhelming. With so many excellent options, varying admissions processes, and the desire to make the best possible decision for your child, it is easy to feel uncertain.
At BISA, we simplify the journey by providing clear, independent, and personalised advice, helping families identify the schools that are the right fit academically, socially, and personally.
Our expertise takes the stress out of the process, giving you confidence every step of the way.
Meet Richard
I have spent over 20 years inside leading Independent Schools, most recently as a Housemaster, and before that on the other side of the Admissions process, as well as a Head of Department and on the Pastoral Team too.
When my own children began looking at Schools, friends started asking me which would suit theirs. BISA grew out of those conversations.
I now give parents the honest, impartial view that a prospectus cannot, so that every child is matched with a school where they will thrive academically, socially and personally.
