British Boarding Schools Return To Lagos

Some Heads and Registrars in the United Kingdom are planning to return to Lagos, Nigeria, to engage parents who may be considering UK boarding school opportunities for their children.

Mark Brooks Education, in association with the UK’s Department for Business & Trade, will be holding two events designed for families seeking to make inquiries.

The Education Reception and Charity Fashion Show is scheduled to hold at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos from 7pm to 9pm, Friday, January 19, 2024, followed by UK Boarding Schools Week – Exhibition at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, 1pm – 5pm, Saturday, January 20, 2024.

Speaking about the events, the organiser, Mark Brooks, said: “This is an ideal opportunity to meet some of the UKs top schools all under one roof and ask your questions.  A wide range of schools will be in attendance such as co-ed, all-girls, international schools, prep and senior, and Sixth Form Colleges.”

The establishments include Badminton School, Cardiff Sixth Form College, City of London Freemen’s School, Downside School, Earlscliffe College, Lancing College, LVS Ascot, Marymount International School London, Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate, St Clare’s Oxford, TASIS England, Wellington School.

Jon Peach, the director of Admissions, said: “Students feel both cared for and challenged and our formal dress code and disciplined approach to education particularly suits our Nigerian families.

“Earlscliffe combines academic rigour with a home-from-home environment where staff create a ‘personalised pathway’ to ensure that students have the best chance of reaching their desired university.”
