Invest in your child's education

Investing in your child’s education is the greatest gift that you can give to them.

And while the financial commitment is getting greater, the future workplace is becoming more competitive.

For the past sixteen years Mark Brooks has been helping parents choose the right school for their daughters and sons.

In the video below, Jade shares her experiences of choosing the right UK boarding school with the help of Mark Brooks Education (Hurtwood House) and how it has helped her in a successful career years later.

A popular choice for pupils and parents

UK Boarding and day schools remain popular, despite the challenges of the economic tailwinds because:

• Academic advancement – UK boarding schools offer a world-class curriculum, top-tier teachers, and cutting-edge facilities, ensuring students gain a competitive academic edge for future success.
• Cultural connections – Exposure to a diverse, international community fosters cultural awareness, broadens perspectives, and equips students with the social skills needed for global citizenship.
• Holistic health – The schools attending emphasise not just academics, but also personal growth through co-curricular activities, elite sports, leadership programmes, and character-building experiences.

Sowing the seeds of an outstanding education at one of the schools taking part in UK Boarding Schools Week will reap a rich harvest in their lives and set them up for success.

Roedean: “a long history with Nigeria”

In some instances, “third generations of families have attended Roedean School, Brighton from Nigeria", Alison Wienekus , the school’s director of marketing and admissions told me in a recent interview.

“What is compelling,” she explains, “is the holistic education.”

“The opportunities here are endless,” Alison continues.

“Girls not only have the opportunity to excel academically…but are also given the opportunity to expand their horizons through the co-curricular.”

While throughout their education, “the girls’ success is underpinned by the pastoral care system.”

The reason for the long history she concludes is that “Nigerian girls get stuck in and get involved in terms of everything that we offer.”

"An education home from home" at Queen Ethelburga's

The similarities between QE and the schools here in Nigeria makes that transition to the UK very seamless," says Nick White from Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate in this interview we filmed on his last trip to Lagos.

"The environment that we have has a fantastic balance of the education and co-curricular activities. This allows the students to stride on towards university and beyond."
