What is a British Boarding School?

A boarding school is a residential school where pupils live and study during the school year and onwards. There are approximately 450 boarding schools in the UK, the majority are fee-paying schools. There are some state boarding schools with reduced fees for tuition only that we work with however this is largely for British and EU passport holders.
Many UK boarding schools combine substantial historical buildings and spacious grounds with contemporary technology and outstanding teaching which is measured regularly by an inspectorate body. Modern boarding provides pupils with comfortable accommodation, a high standard of extra-curricular facilities and strong pastoral care.

Pupils can start boarding as young as six years old. A majority of students start boarding at the age or 11 or 13, however. Boarding in the UK for Sixth Form (ages 16-18) is very popular with international students also

A reminder of British Boarding schools that are actively recruiting students in the UK.
