Review:
The Independent School Entrance book is absolutely GREAT...the best on the market by miles. --Barnaby Lenon, Chairman, Independent Schools Council
A great guide to getting into an independent school from people who really know their way around the system. Gives a clear and robust view of the dos and don'ts, tending at times to a brutal honesty which is going to give some of the schools that read it severe attacks of the hiccoughs. No harm in that, of course much better that parents should know where they really stand. Independent schools are genuinely open and welcoming to all, but the hoops that pupils (and parents) have to leap through to get in are completely different to state schools. With this book, you will be well prepared. --Ralph Lucas, Editor-in-Chief, The Good Schools Guide
