Image of Boarding School in Devon, South West England - We aim to help our international students develop their knowledge of English and their ability to use the English language, while simultaneously making a direct contribution to the students' general educational development.

- Learners are taught in small groups and we offer appropriate examinations, all of which are internationally recognised, such as the Preliminary English Test and the First Certificate. Older pupils can take the IELTS test which can qualify them to study at University or to work in an English speaking environment. Opportunities are also offered to visit places of interest which are both enjoyable and fun. All overseas boarders must have a guardian over the age of 25 living in the UK.

Residential Life:

- Stover has a happy boarding community in which boarders can enjoy life in a relaxed, shared environment. Boarders live in Mansion House or Park House. Younger pupils live in dormitories where they develop friendships that can last a lifetime. Single or double study bedrooms are available for our Sixth Formers. Each House has a Common Room in which the girls can relax together in comfortable surroundings.

- Senior boarders are given the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by participating in and organising activities for the Junior boarders. They help to supervise ‘prep' and listen to the younger members of the boarding community reading. Boarding prefects represent the boarders at School Council and liaise with the Housemistress to ensure the smooth running of the House.

- In Mansion House, refreshments are available in the Internet Café and there is also a tuck shop for snacks and sundries. In Park House there is a fully equipped kitchen. The homely atmosphere is further enhanced by the aroma of cakes baking in the girls' kitchen.

- When the lighter evenings are with us, pupils can take advantage of the wonderful grounds for sport and recreation. Each boarding house is staffed by a Housemistress, an Assistant and an Assistant Tutor who all contribute towards offering a wide variety of fun activities.

Flexible Boarding:
Flexible boarding is available to all our day girls either regularly, for one or two nights per week or as a one off sleep-over, or perhaps more if parents are away.

Boys Boarding:
Boys are placed with local English host families, ensuring that our pupils have someone close at hand to care for them.

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, Berkshire
Courses / Programs
Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools are twin day and boarding schools that share the same estate at Marlston, Hermitage in the Berkshire countryside. Brockhurst teaches boys from six to thirteen years of age, while Marlston House teaches girls of the same age.

Boys and girls are taught together in our vibrant co-educational pre-prep school (ages 3-6). From Year 2 they are taught separately in small, single-sex classes. We believe this is the best system for developing their academic potential.

Boys and girls continue to mix for the many social and extracurricular activities we provide. At the age of thirteen, their classes are combined again in preparation for the Common Entrance exams.

At Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, we aim to provide a first-class, unique education in a disciplined and happy, family environment. Both schools offer a broad curriculum, which includes art, drama, music, and an exciting variety of other activities. This breadth is reflected in the range of scholarships achieved.

Approximately 1.25 hours drive west of London, our schools are situated in a magnificent Jacobean style mansion set in 500 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. Our mission is to develop enthusiastic, self-confident and well-mannered girls and boys with enquiring minds.
