One of the best things that you can do for your daughter is make sure that she gets a good education, and there is no better place to get one than in a UK private girls school. The UK is known for its private boarding schools – they offer not only the best curriculum, but also plenty of activities that allow young people to develop a wide variety of talents and skills. You should, however, be discerning – you cannot afford to pick the first private girls school that you come across.

For many parents the deciding factor is the fees, and this is a legitimate concern – these schools are expensive and you should be prepared to part with a few thousand pounds every year. That said, fees should not be your only guide. You also have to look into the performance of the school. How many of its students qualify to go to good senior schools? One way to make sure that your child gets into a senior school without any problem is to enrol her into a school that transitions smoothly into one – there are some schools that have both a prep school and a senior school.

You should also look into the faculty – a good school takes its time to recruit the best teaches. You can go online and find out their work histories and how well they have done in the past. Before you enrol your child in a private school find out what activities, other than bookwork, are offered – you want to have a well rounded child who has many different skills.

One school that provides children with just such an upbringing is St. Francis College in Hertfordshire. It is a boarding and day school for girls aged between 3 and 18 and it has an excellent curriculum as well as many different extra curricula activities.
