Why Consider a UK School?
Outstanding education
UK independent schools offer small class sizes, specialist subject teaching and well-established GCSE, A Level and IB pathways, with structured support for university applications in the UK and beyond.
World-class cricket
Many UK schools run established cricket programmes with qualified coaches, indoor and outdoor facilities, and a full fixture calendar through the summer term, alongside links to county and club cricket.
Personal development
Boarding builds independence, routine and confidence. Beyond the classroom, pupils take part in music, drama, service and a wide range of sports as part of everyday school life.
International experience
Pupils live and learn alongside classmates from across the UK and around the world, gaining fluency in a British academic environment that many families value long after school.

What families say
Criced made what felt impossible feel straightforward. Within months, our son had an offer and a cricket scholarship to a school we had only dreamed of.
The team understood cricket, but more importantly they understood me. They found a school where I could develop as a player and still aim for top universities.
As a head of admissions, I value partners who send us well-prepared, well-matched candidates. Criced does exactly that.
My family spoke to Criced and they were very helpful in navigating a path into the UK school system.
Working with the team throughout my school application process was a really positive experience. From the beginning, I was given the opportunity to explore a number of different schools, which helped me understand my options and decide which environment would be the best fit for me. Throughout the process, I was supported with arranging school visits, understanding the different opportunities available and navigating each stage of the application. I never felt pressured towards one particular school; instead, I felt that the focus was on helping me make the right decision for myself.
I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance provided throughout my brother's application to King's College Taunton. Having attended King's myself, it was particularly important to me that the process was handled properly and that my brother was given the best opportunity to follow a similar pathway. From the beginning, the service was professional, responsive and thorough. Every stage of the application was handled with care, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well organised. I would confidently recommend their services to any family looking for knowledgeable and reliable guidance when applying to schools in the UK. Their experience, attention to detail and genuine commitment to helping students find the right opportunity made a real difference to our family.
