FROM THE FOUNDER
Dear Readers, It has been a busy time for the Education Choices Magazine team and we are thrilled that the Education Corner Podcast is proving to be so popular with so many parents and families globally. It has also been wonderful to be able to visit so many schools over the past few months, discuss education and see some familiar faces! We were deeply saddened by the tragic events that took place at Epsom College and our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Emma Pattison’s family and friends. Have a Happy Easter!
