This is only a fraction of the cost of an equivalent boarding place in the independent sector. The education at these schools is free. Sixth form boarding is proving particularly attractive. Boarding at this age is an excellent preparation for university or employment away from home. Boarders gain confidence, independence and the ability to co-operate with others, all key qualities in working and student life.
All schools have a mix of boarding and day pupils.
The increasing availability of weekly boarding means that modern boarding is a flexible option. Overseas students may be charged higher tuition fees than home students. A warm welcome awaits you.
