The gap we close
UK admissions are not US admissions
UK admissions are course-specific, test-heavy, and interview-driven — and they work nothing like the US system most international guidance is built around. Students apply to a single course, sit subject admissions tests, and face academic interviews.
We are the UK-specialist layer beside your guidance office — not a replacement for it. Your team knows your students; we add the course-specific, interview, and test expertise that only graduates of the process can give.
Admission outcomes
Results that travel
Firm-wide offers our students receive each year. We never publish student names — an anonymised outcomes summary is available on request.
Including 15+ students from Japan admitted to Oxbridge in 2025.
Free first-touch programmes
Eight ways to start — at no cost
Free during a first-year partnership. Online or in person. No cost to the school.
UK Admissions Assembly
A whole-cohort talk on how UK and Oxbridge admissions actually work: timelines, UCAS, course choice, and what admissions tutors look for. Demystifies the process for students and staff alike.
Oxbridge-Style Mock Interview Day
Realistic 1-to-1 mock interviews run by graduates of the exact course, in the same format students will face. Each student receives written feedback on reasoning, communication, and subject knowledge.
Personal Statement Workshop
A practical workshop on what makes a strong UCAS personal statement, the most common mistakes, and how to show genuine intellectual engagement. Optional individual feedback follows.
Admissions-Test Seminar
A subject-specific seminar on the relevant admissions test — TSA, LNAT, ESAT, MAT and others — covering format, strategy, and the problem-solving examiners reward.
Teacher CPD Session
Continuing professional development for teachers and counsellors on supporting UK and Oxbridge applicants effectively — common misconceptions, the realities of the process, and how to spot potential.
Parent Evening
An evening session for parents on the UK admissions journey, costs, timelines, and how families can support an application from overseas — in clear, jargon-free terms.
Subject Taster Lecture
A short, university-style lecture in a chosen subject delivered by a specialist mentor — designed to build the supercurricular curiosity that strong applications and interviews depend on.
Early-Careers Session
An aspirations-raising session for younger students on UK university pathways and the choices that keep options open later — sown early, before subject decisions are made.
Two ways to partner
Choose the model that fits your school
School-Contracted
Your school is the contracting party. Delivery sits inside your school’s own safeguarding framework, and we work to your policies and named staff.
- School holds the agreement and oversees delivery
- Delivered under your safeguarding policy and DSL
- Best where the school funds or coordinates the programme
Approved Provider
Families contract us directly. Your school simply recommends or lists us as an approved provider. There are zero referral fees — ever.
- No financial relationship between us and the school
- School recommends; families choose and contract directly
- Best where the school prefers to stay at arm’s length
No referral fees, ever.
Partner School Basic Support
Free with any partnership — Model A or Model B.
