Klaus Boehm

Klaus Boehm’s career has taken him from a progressive school in Kent, through Cambridge University, brief spells with the Royal Artillery and Hotpoint brand management, setting up the Careers Research and Advisory Centre, and into the world of books as a consultant editor developing a wide range of reference books for Macmillan.

He has written and edited an eclectic range of books, including THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, for which he won the 1981 ASLIB prize for best new business reference, books on books on French and Italian menu terms and consumer books on education. With Jenny Lees-Spalding, he edits THE STUDENT BOOK, the one-stop annual university guide, along with others including the annual GUIDE TO INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS.

This annual guide is the most comprehensive and up to date source of information on UK independent secondary schools. 500 school reports provide parents with all the facts they need to make a decision about their child’s future, with information including: IT resources; school fees; exam results; extracurricular activities and discipline. The individual characteristics and particular strengths of each school are revealed enabling parents to make informed decisions about which school is the right one for their child. There is also information on parents’ common concerns and an explanation of the independent school system, including information on fees and how to manage them.
