The London Parents Forum was launched in 2010 in association with Next Step Exhibitions and Bonas MacFarlane.

Next Step Exhibitions have been running the Independent Schools Show since it was first started in 2006.  The Independent Schools Show is now the largest Independent schools exhibition in the world, with over 140 of the UK’s leading Independent schools exhibiting at the show each year, as well as numerous international schools, private tutorial companies and educational providers. 

Bonas MacFarlane is one of London’s most respected educational consultants; they have been providing private tuition and educational advice to students for over a decade and have successfully placed over 500 students into some of the best independent schools in the country.

Together, we have gathered, via our expertise and unrivalled knowledge of parental needs and concerns, the leading experts in the fields of education, school selection and, most importantly, the common issues and concerns faced by parents today.  Over the past ten years, Bonas MacFarlane and Next Step Exhibitions have listened to parents and have a huge understanding of the common problems that they face during their child’s formative years - both at school and at home. 

The London Parents Forum has been set up in response to this, in order to offer parents help, guidance and expert advice on every aspect of raising a happy, well rounded and well educated child in London.
