Jimmy Beale. Founder & Lead Consultant
Jimmy uses his many years of experience of leadership within the UK independent school sector, and his more recent decade of service running a leading school placement consultancy, to provide support of the highest quality. Families are secure in the knowledge that they are dealing with an expert, and one who has nothing but the child’s best interests at heart.
Jimmy worked in the UK private education sector for twenty years, having gained his teaching qualification at Bristol University. He worked in both single-sex and co-educational day and boarding schools; his last two roles were as Deputy Headmaster of a large co-educational senior school, and then as Headmaster of a leading co-educational prep school and an Independent Schools’ Inspectorate (ISI) Inspector.
Jimmy retired from his role as Headmaster in 2013 in order to pursue a career in business. He launched The English Education in 2015 and co-founded APT (Academic Profiling Tests) in 2020. He has recently developed a range of coaching and mentoring services for children and young adults.

What does success look like?
A successful placement incorporates three strands – success for the pupil, success for parents and success for the destination school. Right Place Education focuses upon these elements each and every time we work with a family.
For the student
Success happens when a child is placed where they will be challenged academically, where they are treated as an individual and where their skills and strengths are developed within an environment of care and understanding.
For the parents
Success happens when they have enjoyed an open and transparent process with their consultant, where communication has been clear and honest, and when they are completely confident that their child will thrive, feel safe and be happy in their new school.
For the school
Success happens when the school is presented with appropriate applicants, screened and assessed by educational experts, whose communication is both efficient and honest, and whose recommendations carry weight.
