  Talk Education is a new concept in independent schools advice which comprises a dynamic, digital schools guide, a parent advisory service and an educational events company. Our aim is to provide parents with properly informed guidance on their schools choices, and to give schools a new, effective and quantifiable marketing resource. Our team spent almost ten years researching, writing and editing a schools guide for a glossy magazine, building an unparalleled network of contacts, access and experience. We loved our jobs, but came to realise that there was so much more we could do with this experience: write more detailed reviews and features; update our content more regularly; use our team’s knowledge to give parents bespoke advice on their schools choices, particular to their children and their family circumstances; run more, bigger, better events on a wider range of topics, in different formats – digital as well as face-to-face. Talk Education is the result of a two-year, rollercoaster journey, involving many meetings, countless ‘lightbulb moments’, a vast network of wise counsellors, huge amounts of mildly hysterical laughter, the odd 3am blind panic and much coffee. We are very proud of the result. Show less
