Heads & Tales Live: An evening with top UK schools
Bangkok.
Heads & Tales Live took place in Bangkok on Monday 27th October 2025, bringing together a packed room of 60 parents eager to learn more from three outstanding UK schools.
The schools were represented as follows:
Sophie Langdale, Directors of Admissions Radley College
James Lyon Taylor, Directors of Admissions Marlborough College
Tara Reeve, Directors of Admissions Downe House School
Together, they guided a wide-ranging and engaging discussion exploring the realities of UK education and what families should consider when navigating international schooling options.
The evening was a genuine celebration of UK education, with parents not only benefiting from the panel discussion but also taking advantage of 1:1 private meetings with the schools. These conversations continued over dinner and drinks, creating space for meaningful dialogue, thoughtful questions and the beginnings of long-term relationships.
A huge thank you goes to Anna Wongcha-um for her tireless work in bringing the event together, to our three schools for travelling and engaging so generously and to the wonderfully kind Thai families who have placed their trust in Oppidan to support their children.
While Oppidan Education’s core focus is mentoring children to be their best selves, an important part of that mission is supporting parents - who often need a little mentorship themselves as they navigate complex educational decisions. It has been a real pleasure to begin working more closely with leading UK schools such as these.
