Choosing a Private School in South East
The South East is home to one of England's largest and most diverse independent school communities, offering families an exceptional choice of day, boarding and day-and-boarding schools. Many parents begin by comparing schools within a practical commuting distance before widening their search across neighbouring counties such as Surrey, Berkshire, Kent, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
The region includes everything from highly selective academic schools and specialist prep schools to internationally recognised boarding schools and all-through schools. School fees, admissions policies, travel time, extracurricular opportunities and school ethos all play an important role when building a shortlist. Families also frequently compare schools across county boundaries, particularly where transport links make neighbouring counties equally accessible.
School Scout helps families search by county, town, postcode or school name, compare schools side by side and build a shortlist before arranging school visits and open days.
