Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does UK boarding school placement take?
Most families begin the process 12-18 months before their preferred start date, though we also support shorter timelines where needed.
2. Is there a fee for the first consultation?
No. Your first consultation with Brains & Butter is complementary.
3. Do you only work with top-ranking schools?
No. We match each child to the school that fits them best — not simply the most well-known option.
