Sarah found herself having to find schooling for her three young daughters as her family was relocated around the world through work commitments. Her experiences in places such as Ireland, Kenya, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain as well as on her return to the UK, meant that she understood all too well the stresses that come with moving to a new country and the potential for emotional turmoil when helping young children to settle into a new school in a different country. Since it was founded, Educatus has assisted hundreds of parents moving to the UK and Ireland from elsewhere in the world. The company has focussed on building a dedicated team of consultants with experience in both UK and International education. Families are introduced to Educatus through the Global Mobility Industry, corporate clients and through word of mouth leading to discrete assignments helping individual relocating families. For relocating families, Educatus offers a highly personalised and professional service, aimed at exploring every option within the chosen strand of education – be it private or state education, nursery, special education, college or university. The consultancy team understand that relocating is a challenge for the whole family, and use their educational experience to offer the right level of support and offering a range of services, all designed with the family in mind. For global mobility and corporate organisations relocating employees with families, the challenge lies in showing the potential assignee the benefits of the range of education options available to them in the UK. Educatus provides an expert solution to an issue that can potentially derail an otherwise successful employee relocation project. The team understand that for parents, the decision to accept an international assignment can hinge on whether their children’s education and wellbeing can be assured. With this in mind, Educatus delivers their service with a careful balance tipped towards empathy, but always aimed at managing expectations and delivering results. For corporations, Educatus offers a range of consulting options focussed on policy assistance and benchmarking, educational site assessment, group move advice and location surveys for schooling solutions. The team can even organise presentations to explain the many educational options available in the UK.

The key to success in education and the workplace is to be surrounded by inspiring and competent people who can give you the tools you need to reach their level, as well as the resources to do so. Our aim is first of all to ensure that the children know and understand what they need from the curriculum to pass their SATS, GCSEs and A-levels in order to satisfy the requirements of the education system. Yet more importantly to we seek to braoden their minds – to get them to want to learn and love learning by putting them in an environment with highly educated, motivated and intelligent teachers who have been successful in education and the workplace. Teaching staff include a mixture of highly qualified teachers, graduate students and other professionals who are keen to encourage children from all, and especially disadvantaged, backgrounds in to their professions such as engineering, the sciences, law and writing. We take those who are not professional teachers intentionally because many children would not otherwise be exposed to such high level professionals in their day to day lives, and these motivated, successful people have a wealth of specialist knowledge not taught in schools. We hope the children will be inspired by these people. Examples of what we have done outside of the curriculum include training children for the Maths Challenge which can eventually lead on to the Maths Olympiad and introducing some very basic ideas from number theory. One of our teachers was a philosophy graduate and tried teaching basic propositional logic and reasoning skills. Just before the last term ended, we started a program of reading classic English literature in the oldest classes and initiated a debating club. We also have an ambitious program in development to organize work experience and internships at big city firms, engineering companies and civil service institutions to show children what they can achieve if they put their minds to it. Finally, we want members of the community involved. They might teach, or act as classroom assistants or offer work experience or supervise behaviour – anything that gets parents involved with their children's education.
