Children's Education Advisory Service
Has anyone had any dealing with CEAS? I have been in long communication with them over an entitlement matter and in spite of numerous emails, letters, faxes and telephone calls, I have had no substative reponse. A case was put up for senior school boarding rate from my son in Year 7, but it was dismissed over the phone on the grounds of 'you should have picked a cheaper school' which completely ignored the independent recommendations forwarded to them (and also an incorrect assumption). It is clear that the CEAS have a mandate to save money irrespective of the argument.
Similarly, prior to moving abroad on yet another overseas posting we asked for advice on suitability of schools for our daughter (6) - there being no BFS or other English-language schools in this location. The advice was 'find a school and send us the invoice'. No added value. Anyone else have experience of them?
