Course outline:
AgentsConnect on Tour – State Boarding Schools is a dedicated event designed to support the UK’s state boarding sector in building effective relationships with international education agents and strengthening awareness of the state boarding offer.
There are currently 30 state boarding schools across the UK, collectively educating around 4,700 boarders. With fees covering residential costs only, state boarding provides a more affordable boarding pathway for eligible families, including UK citizens, British passport holders living overseas and students with the right to residence in Britain. This distinctive model presents both opportunities and challenges when working with agents and communicating the offer clearly.
This event moves beyond traditional recruitment fairs and instead prioritises informed discussion, sector insight and meaningful engagement. The day combines practical guidance with structured networking, enabling schools to connect with agents in a focused environment and explore opportunities for sustainable, compliant partnerships.
