Lionheart School provides immediate educational stability for students in transition while securing their optimal long-term placement. As specialists in educational crisis intervention, we accept students at any point in the academic year when traditional admission processes simply don’t apply.
We base entry decisions on how effectively we can help your child succeed. Understanding that many students arrive with low confidence, we’ve developed sensitive assessment methods that build understanding rather than create stress:
We base our entry decisions on how efficiently and effectively we feel that we can help the student. The assessments we use to ascertain this vary from child to child. All prospective students are interviewed with their parents.
Many undergo a WISC IV (junior) assessment to help us to build a picture of how each child learns to enable us to gain a deeper understanding of their achievements, difficulties and potential.
We are aware that many of our students come to us at a point where their confidence is low, and we are sensitive to the detrimental effect that formal assessments can have on children in certain circumstances.
We have developed subtle methods over the years to assess each child to help us develop the perfect programme.
Our consultants create completely bespoke educational programmes based on your child’s strengths, challenges, and long-term goals. We also ensure that tutors working with students are a right personality match.
Our goal is to move students into the optimal school or university as soon as they are ready. It is our job to identify the best school for your child, taking account of your preferences as a family, and the feedback from our in-house tutors. We will liaise with Admissions staff at your school of choice and gain a successful placement for your child.
We don’t just apply widely and hope for the best. Using detailed feedback from our tutors who know your child intimately, combined with your family’s preferences and circumstances, we identify schools where your child will genuinely thrive—not just gain admission.
School applications can feel like a maze of deadlines, entrance requirements, and unwritten rules. We handle the complex liaison with admissions teams, presenting your child’s case professionally while you focus on supporting them through the transition.
Some families find themselves needing alternatives to conventional admission processes. Whether due to timing, circumstances, or your child’s unique profile, we open doors through established relationships that might otherwise remain closed.
Many schools trust our assessment of student readiness because we’ve built relationships over decades. When we recommend a student, admissions teams know that child has been carefully prepared – academically, emotionally, and socially.
