Bowker Consulting is an independent education consultancy offering high level support, advice and guidance to relocating families both nationally and internationally. At Bowker Consulting we understand the unique issues faced by mobile families with children of school age.
Whether your children are of nursery age, primary, secondary or embarking on sixth form we are here to assist at every point. Finding the right school for your child is one of the most important aspects of relocation. Our experienced team of professionals will help you understand the different curriculum options available – British, American, International or other – across both the state and independent sectors. We will guide you through every stage of the process, provide detailed information and statistics on schools in your search area as well as explain entry requirements and the application procedures. These can sometimes be a complete minefield!
Each family is assigned a named team member as their point of contact. From the initial call through to gaining places at the chosen school your consultant will be in constant communication with you to help alleviate the pressure and stress of the process. Our service covers relocation within the UK as well as incoming and outgoing international moves. Every team member has years of experience in the education sector – be that as a consultant or within the education system, so we are best placed to understand your unique requirements.
We have worked successfully with numerous multinational companies as well as private individuals for nearly 20 years. The testimonials of families we have helped are a constant reminder to us that we are providing an invaluable service. Here are just a few:
“I want to thank you for the perfect arrangements. You were always available for the help. Even on a short notice you replied quickly and arranged the requested visits. We highly appreciated all your effort. It was really a pleasure working with you.“
“It has been a bit of a “journey” to get to the point we are today (from deciding to accept the role, to choosing where to live and the prep for the appeal). You have been so helpful all the way through and we are really grateful for the help.”
“The school is working out just wonderfully and both children are settling in brilliantly. Kristin, who really didn’t want to move to the UK at all, actually chatted with me the other night (that in itself is quite something for a 13 year old girl!!) and was saying how she was really surprised at how much she was enjoying school and the move in general and how little she misses South Africa. In short, I didn’t imagine that it would all work out so well – largely due to your much appreciated hard work and input, thank you.”
