Chinese agency calls for UK boarding schools to host group visit

A Chinese agency is looking for UK boarding schools to host visits by a group of Chinese families interested in sending their children to a UK boarding school.

Introduction of Chinese agency:

The education agency is based in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China, and is experienced in sending Chinese students to the UK for study.

Expectations for host boarding schools:

The agency is preparing a familiarisation trip for 10–15 families (children and their parents) that will include visits to a number of UK boarding schools. The trip will be scheduled in May 2015.

Any boarding schools wishing to host a visit by the group must have in place an international student recruitment plan, and should prepare a 2-3 hour programme that includes a tour and a presentation introducing the school with time for questions at the end.

The agency is willing to cover reasonable costs for light refreshments, which should be provided by the host boarding schools.
