About Us

Your Perfect Guide
Claire has quite literally, been there:

As a pupil: she was educated at a premier UK boarding school in the Cotswolds.

As a mother: her two children attended prep and senior UK boarding schools.

As the wife of a British Military officer: 27 years with many overseas postings, including extended periods in Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.

As a mother of two teenage children who have attended boarding school from 8 years old, Claire has very personal experience of the decisions you are currently considering. Having been through the school search and selection process herself from prep school through to sixth form, Claire realised how challenging it can be to narrow down the plethora of school choices. This led to the development of Claire Calder Consultancy which has shaped her work to support families with their own boarding school decisions.

Claire’s clients have included international families wanting a British education for their children, UK Forces and FCDO staff and families where a corporate role requires a relocation outside of the UK.
