According to a statement from his team, the initiative is designed to help families make informed decisions by engaging directly with school heads and admissions teams.“This programme enables parents and students to meet school heads, explore academic pathways and gain first-hand insight into British boarding education,” Brooks said. He noted that families will interact with schools known for strong academic performance, supportive student welfare systems, and vibrant co-curricular programmes within diverse international communities.Brooks added that the exhibitions offer a rare platform for Nigerian families to better understand how UK boarding schools promote all-round development. He explained that British boarding schools are structured to nurture students academically, socially, and personally, while also preparing them for admission into leading global universities and lifelong success.Several prestigious schools have confirmed participation, including Bromsgrove School, Canford School, Cardiff Sixth Form College, Dean Close School, Downside School, Lancing College, Milton Abbey School, Stamford School, and Wellington School.School leaders also emphasised their long-standing connections with Nigerian families. Alex Battison, Head of Wellington School in Somerset, said the school has a proud tradition of welcoming Nigerian students and values the strong relationships built over the years.With direct access to decision-makers and detailed information about life in UK boarding schools, the March exhibitions are expected to draw strong interest from families seeking world-class education pathways for their children.
