“Making the decision as a family to migrate to the UK was an easy one. The real work started when we had to choose good schools for our daughters. With more than 2,500 private schools to choose from, we certainly had our work cut out. Fortunately for us Outreach School Search was a God-send. From first contact, we found them to be professional, knowledgeable, extremely competent, helpful, supportive and very comforting to work with. From identifying the schools, short-listing the ones that suited us best, arranging interviews, providing moral support and advice while awaiting results and then sharing in our joy at successfully getting admission. They were a part of the family. Thank you!”

“Identifying the right school where a child can flourish, hone their skills, acquire new talents and become a successful member of society is a challenge in itself. For parents relocating to another country, with limited knowledge of schools there, the magnitude of this challenge is multiplied. Robin and Outreach School Search has assisted us right from the word go. From understanding our specific needs and requirements to identifying right schools for us, to scheduling schools visits, to corresponding with them, and guiding us all along during the process, he was there for us 24/7. I strongly recommend Outreach School Search to any parent whether moving in the UK, relocating to the UK or even looking for better school options within a city. They are simply the best in what they do!”

“Outreach School Search was an invaluable resource in our move to London. Our primary focus when choosing where to live was finding quality schools with availability to accept both our children. Outreach did extensive research to find the perfect fit for our children. They were available at all hours to answer our questions, provide guidance and assist with what can be a daunting process for foreigners. We are very happy with the school we selected and our daughters are settling in well, acclimatising to the new school and making new friends. We would highly recommend the Outreach team and could not have found the school we did without them.”

– B and K Tolman, USA

“To everyone at Outreach School Search we want to say thank you very much for all your invaluable help. It would have been impossible to have it sorted in a record time without you.”

– R & A, Spain

“I am writing to thank you for the help Outreach School Search gave us during our relocation from Oregon to London. As a teacher, I had very particular ideas about the type of education I wanted for my son. Your services helped our family find a fit for him, and we feel very confident that our choice was a good one, guided by your knowledge. I also wanted to thank you for going above and beyond, taking our stressed-out phone calls when we were questioning our sanity in making the move at all. Your calm, rational, yet humorous approach helped settle our nerves and feel good about moving forward.”

– Anne Paris, USA

“My family was just about to move to London and I needed to find a good school for my 13-year-old son. I did not have a clue about where to start looking, as the English education system is quite different from the one in Portugal. I searched for help online and found Outreach School Search. They helped me identify possible schools according to my search criteria, organized the first meetings with the admissions teams and followed the process through to the end, until we found the right school for my son. Their advice was extremely useful and they provided an efficient and timely service. I would definitely recommend using them, especially if you are new to the English education system."

– Paulo S

“We are very happy with the work performed by Robin Laidlaw in the search of schools for our two children. Robin understood perfectly our needs and recommended very suitable choices. He was very proactive in the school search process and selection, and was the perfect liaison between ourselves and the different schools”

– Fernando Q

“While the UK school system and application process can be confusing to an outsider, we soon realised that we could rely on Robin's experience, expertise and network of connections to help us through it. We would highly recommend this service to anyone relocating to the UK with children”.

– Hannes V, Belgium

“The most helpful aspect was determining where to apply. There are so many excellent schools in London. It was an overwhelming task to narrow down the search, especially when researching from thousands of miles away. Robin was able to tell me about each of the schools and make inquiries about potential openings so that I wouldn't waste my time applying to a school that had no chance of an opening.”

– Megan Marine, Seattle

“It was a pleasure working with Robin and Outreach School Search during our transition to London. Robin provided a focused overview of available schools and pro-actively reached out to schools on our behalf with any further inquiries. He also made himself available for consultation throughout the process. We really appreciated the speed at which Robin would respond to inquiries and the frequency of updates, especially given the significant time difference in our locations.”

– Paul and Andrea White, Seattle

“We are a family with two children from Ukraine that only recently moved to London. Robin's company did a great job of finding us a good shortlist of schools and setting up appointments for six schools that I needed to visit in the few days I had on my home finding trip to London. After I visited all the schools Robin provided great advice and supported us with our decision to apply to Southbank International School. It is now going well for our son in Southbank, and we are really grateful to Robin for his services and invaluable support.”

– Anton Borzov

“Outreach eased the burden of the whole process of finding a school by setting a compelling agenda and engaging the right people. Through their thoughtful advice that took into consideration our real needs, we were able to get to a positive conclusion within a couple of weeks after my appointment. They made what could be a tiring and lengthy process, simple and effective.”

– JP, New York

“I’d like to use this opportunity to thank you for your help, with directing us towards a great nursery, that feels very relevant to our needs/tastes, and is so close to our chosen flat. It really helped make a serious challenge much more manageable.”

– Elad, Tel Aviv

“Outreach helped us navigate the daunting waters of the UK education system and found us many excellent schools to choose from. They were also very diligent with hands-on communications between the schools, and following up with all parties when necessary. We are very happy with the school we selected and would work with Outreach again without hesitation.”

– B Williams

“Robin and his team were really great, helping us to navigate through the maze of schools in North London, offering advice on differences between the various schools and following up with the schools throughout the application process. Together, we managed to successfully place both our son and daughter at our preferred school”
