International Students Welcome:
We welcome international students from all over the world from the age of 11. We find that our overseas pupils settle in very well and the majority gain entry to a British University. We have accepted pupils from a wide range of countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Russia, Ukraine, USA, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nepal, Columbia, Argentina, Jordan, India, and the Gambia.
Obviously, the earlier a student joins the school, their progress in acquiring English will be faster. Some students join us at age 15 or 16 and if their English is deemed to be sound they can start immediately on an A-Level programme. Other students may require a year of English and subject-specific English before embarking on an A-Level programme.
Boarding Facilities:
- Full boarding is available, including holidays. Pupils are accommodated in one of three boarding houses and boys and girls are accommodated separately. The accommodation in each house consists of either single or double rooms. If two pupils share a room, we try to ensure that they are from different countries. This helps their spoken English.
- Each boarding house has a resident Houseparent and an assistant Houseparent. The Houseparents take full responsibility for the pastoral care of the pupils in their house and act in loco parentis. The staff look after the pupils in the evenings, at weekends and in the half-term and Easter holidays.
- The school doctor visits weekly to hold a surgery for boarders. The school employs a full time residential qualified nurse to advise on medical issues. Wireless Internet is provided in each boarding house so that the boarders can communicate with friends and family using MSN, Facebook and Skype. The connection is monitored and closed at 11 pm.
