When several timelines move at once
A corporate assignment, diplomatic posting or public-sector relocation can bring school applications, housing, travel and work arrangements into the same short period.
The school plan should reflect the family’s actual arrival window, the child’s current curriculum, the intended year group and any employer-supported education arrangements.
Questions the first consultation can organise
The first conversation helps separate decisions that need immediate action from those that can wait until the family has more information.
- Intended arrival and school-start dates
- Likely year placement and curriculum continuity
- Application documents and assessment timing
- School, housing and commute priorities
- Employer-supported and family-paid costs
Confirm the scope before work begins.
School-specific conditions, availability and any separate service are explained for the family’s actual case before support begins.
