An example: Trinity School

£15 096per term for full boarding

The school's 2026/27 fee, including VAT where applicable. Three terms total £45,288 before additional costs.

School's published fees

Checked on 21 October 2026. The school confirms the final fees for each pupil.

What else to budget for

  • Registration fee and deposit.
  • Uniform and additional lessons, including EAL if needed.
  • Guardianship, transfers, trips and visa costs.
  • The scope and cost of our support.

We prepare a personalised budget for your shortlisted schools, including Battle Abbey. We discuss scholarships and fee reductions where relevant. The school makes the final decision.

Your initial consultation is free. School selection and support fees are agreed separately before work begins.

A pupil working through an exercise with a mentor

An academic assessment explores your child's strengths, gaps and interests. It includes conversations with your child and family, a review of schoolwork and meetings with subject specialists.

1–3 weeks
for the assessment, depending on family availability
from RUB 60,000
for the academic assessment

You receive: an assessment of your child's level, a plan for the next 3 months and an individual learning pathway. This can include GCSE, A-level or IB preparation, projects and mentoring.

The assessment is charged separately, with its scope and final price agreed in advance. Researchers and postgraduate researchers from the University of Cambridge contribute; this is not a university programme or an official university service.

Meet Tatiana

Tatiana Nott

I founded Bridge Generation. For more than 12 years, I have developed educational projects, taught English to children and adults, and organised international trips.

When choosing a school, I want to hear from both parents and their child. Together, we work out which educational path suits them and prepare for the move, step by step.

Discuss school options

Questions parents ask

Can my child try school life first?

Yes. We can discuss a 1–2 week school programme or a holiday camp. We check the format, dates, age requirements and availability separately. It is a way to experience school life before committing to a longer stay.

Our winter AI programme
What if my child's English needs support?

We start by assessing their level against the school's requirements. If needed, we suggest language preparation and check EAL support. Schools do not all require the same level of English.

Do you help with guardianship and visas?

We help find a guardian, coordinate care arrangements and gather documents. Requirements depend on age, visa route and living arrangements. A Child Student visa application requires a letter from the nominated guardian if the child will be living with them. UKVI makes the visa decision.

Child Student visa documents on GOV.UK
Are scholarships or fee reductions available?

We explore academic, sports, music and creative scholarships, as well as individual school offers. We help prepare applications, but awards and their value are not guaranteed.

When should we start preparing?

As soon as you have a preferred entry year. Timing depends on the school, year group, your child's level and available places. At the first consultation, we discuss a realistic timetable and next steps.

What happens at the first consultation?

We discuss your child's age, current school, English, interests, preferred start date and your budget. You can ask questions and work out how much support your family needs. The initial consultation is free.
