For schools
A new channel for international admissions.
Pender Education is an early-stage company building matching and admissions technology for UK independent and boarding schools. We are speaking with a small group of schools about becoming founding partners.
For schools
Reach international families who are actively looking for a school like yours.
Pender is building a new acquisition and admissions channel for UK schools. We help families discover suitable schools and give admissions teams better-qualified enquiries and clearer information about prospective students.
Qualified enquiries
Receive richer student profiles than a standard website enquiry.
Better matching
Help families discover your school based on genuine fit, not simply search ranking.
International recruitment
Reach families actively considering UK education.
Admissions technology
Long-term, Pender will help schools manage enquiries and guide families towards application.

Where we are today
Honest about our stage.
Pender is pre-launch. We do not yet have enrolled families, placement numbers or school partnerships to report, and we will not claim otherwise.
What we do have is a clear product direction, a defined matching model and a willingness to build the first version alongside a small number of schools.

School pathway
From school profile to enrolment.
The long-term product connects a school’s admissions process with the family’s search, so enquiries arrive with context rather than a blank form.
