The Country Life Schools Guide

Choosing the ideal school for your children, making sure that they’re happy, settled and enjoying their experiences, is a top priority for every parent. But the choices can be baffling and times have changed: fewer children are boarding, and more parents are keen to live close school so they can attend everything from rugby matches to art exhibitions.

On this page you’ll find links to articles where we’ve addressed some of the key questions, covering everything from how to choose the right school for your child to discovering the best schools for pony-mad children. And in the search box below you can use the Country Life Schools Directory to find a school that fits your child – and you – perfectly.
