I was very interested to
read @GoodSchoolsUK article about
school admissions staff in The @Telegraph on Saturday. fw.to/OhbfFzR
As I speak to a considerable number of schools
admissions teams on a daily basis on behalf of parents both in the UK and
abroad, I did have a wry smile when I read the article. Sadly much of
it was very familiar.
However,
on the other side of the coin, I thought I would perhaps take this opportunity
to fly the flag for some of the admissions teams who I have always found to be
very helpful and friendly, no matter how busy or rushed off their feet they
are. Some are highly selective schools with many applications per place. Others
are smaller schools who work very hard to recruit pupils. It seems whether a
school is selective or recruiting, it is possible to maintain a welcoming face
at the parent-facing front-line.
Here, in
no particular order, are my top ten friendly schools admissions teams, from
personal experience.
