Brexit banker kids leave top UK schools with rare empty seats

In Brexit Britain, the breadwinners are packing up to move—and naturally their families are going with them.

Enrollment at international schools in the UK has slumped since the 2016 referendum, while across the channel schools catering to expats are seeing a surge in applications.
 

“Social infrastructure has been treated as a secondary consideration in Brexit, and for most people it’s actually the first,” said Nicholas Tonkes, a consultant at Oliver Wyman who’s studied the topic. “That shoe is beginning to drop.”

Shifting class sizes hint at larger changes set to ripple across Britain as the deadline for leaving the European Union approaches.
