Brodie
Schools ConsultantBrodie’s philosophy is very much about supporting your child to achieve their full, individual potential and gain entry to the right school for them. As such, he believes it is critical to meet you and your child either face to face or via video link to really understand your child’s personality, their interests, what they love about school and to then match this up with a realistic selection of senior schools that will suit your child. Brodie will then offer the best possible advice and guidance on school selection, application processes and entry examinations.

My son learnt a lot,’ said a typically satisfied parent, ‘and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ivy Education.
