A few of the SchoolMatcher team……

It takes a lot more than a group of educational consultants to run a successful educational consultancy. Here are a few members of the SchoolMatcher team, who are primarily highly experienced senior educational consultants. Some have children of their own and parents therefore have a first-hand understanding of some of the pressures associated with parenting!
