THE PURPOSE

Begin with understanding.

An assessment of the student’s academic profile, interests and goals, with a one-to-one discussion and a written diagnostic.

WHEN IT MAY FIT

A good conversation
to have if…

  • The student is comparing subjects or still finding a direction.
  • You want a clearer preparation plan before deciding how much support is useful.
  • You would value a defined assessment and written next steps.

WHAT THE WORK CENTRES ON

A clearer sense
of the programme.

Understand the starting point

Consider the student’s academic profile, interests and goals together, rather than choosing a programme from a school-year label alone.

Discuss the choices

A one-to-one discussion with an Asterbridge adviser helps put the questions about subject choice and academic development in context.

Leave with written direction

The written diagnostic sets out personalised direction on subject choices, academic development and next steps.

THE AIM

A clearer decision about what comes next.

The stated deliverable is a written diagnostic. It gives the family a considered basis for deciding how the student should develop and whether further support would be useful.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Does this feel like
the right place to begin?

Tell us what the student is considering. We can discuss whether this programme fits their needs and the time available.
