paths to learning
London
Paths to Learning was established as an EDUCATION CONSULTANCY, by Felicity Gunn,
in 2018. ITS PRIMARY PURPOSE WAS TO SUPPORT PARENTS IN FINDING THE BEST
EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN IN THE UK. Parents may have been: British and
returning home after working abroad, or international and seeking a boarding
school in the UK or looking for a Special School for a child with Learning
Needs. Felicity placed a significant number of children successfully, in a wide
range of schools, both maintained and independent. UNDERSTANDING CULTURES
emerged as a key theme for: advising schools in the UK receiving children from
other countries, and parents and their children who were coming to the UK. To
that end she ran a Virtual Summit entitled KNOWING CULTURE FOR BETTER EDUCATION
2020 at which 20 eminent speakers including head teachers, school managers,
pastoral leaders and cultural consultants, contributed insights in how to manage
the complexities and nuances of cross-cultural relations, thereby ensuring a
fruitful educational experience for children unfamiliar with “the way we do
things here.” All talks have been transcribed and are still available at no
cost. As Covid 19 sped around the globe it was clear that few parents would be
moving, or wanting their children to travel to the UK, for their education. Then
early in 2021, Felicity married and moved to Derbyshire. While the consultancy
company no longer exists, FELICITY OFFERS EDUCATION CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO
PARENTS and can be contacted through this email address:
