How It Works
The Independent Sector has its own entry points, timelines and admissions procedures, and very little of it is set out clearly in one place. Bespoke Independent School Advice (BISA) is here to make the process straightforward and stress-free.
Simply select the package that best suits your needs, and we will send you our Educational Profiling Form. This allows us to gain a detailed understanding of your child, your family's priorities, and the type of school that will provide the best fit.
After receiving your completed form, you will receive your personalised recommendations.
Whether you are looking for a carefully selected shortlist of schools to consider or a comprehensive one-to-one consultation explaining our recommendations, the admissions process, and how to maximise your child's application, BISA provides expert, impartial guidance at every stage.
What to know before getting started
Not sure where to start?

Most families begin looking 3 years before the entry point. Therefore, if you want to start the new school in Year 7, you would be starting to look at the beginning of Year 4. If looking at Year 9 entry, the beginning of Year 6 is sensible. This is certainly not a static deadline; whenever the time is right for you just get in touch and we will go from there.

Our aim is to make the process bespoke to you and your child’s needs. Therefore, we are not looking at generic data, we are looking at what you tell us about your child and fitting his/her profile into the right kind of school.
Our advice is impartial, our knowledge is broad, yet our aim is to be entirely bespoke to you and your needs.

No. Admission to the schools suggested is something that your child will need to work towards.
However, we will get you in touch with Admissions Teams in the schools chosen, let you know when the upcoming Open Days are and point you in the direction of tutors (if needed).
