The Parents and Pupils section is designed to help those considering Boarding. Here you will find useful information and guidelines to help you through the process.

Why Boarding?

Part of the strength of the British boarding market, is the diversity of schools available: they may be small or large, co-ed or single sex, rural or urban, outstanding in different ways, such as sport or Music or Art, as well as in academic subjects.

What is Boarding like?

Different boarding schools will cater for a wide variety of children. What they will have in common is their care and concern for each individual child entrusted to them, and their dedication to ensuring that each child is happy, thrives and succeeds, whatever their interests or talents.

How do I apply?

Most of our schools are independent and all of our schools, including the state boarding schools, are responsible for their own admissions. The first thing to do is to make contact with schools in which you are interested...

Summer school

An increasing number of UK boarding schools are offering courses, either directly or through an outside organisation, in March/April or July/August. The majority of courses combine English language teaching and/or academic study with sporting and social activities, plus excursions.
