The UK offers a gold standard in education, and with over 70,000 boarders currently at UK boarding schools, the demand for places remains strong. With outstanding academic teaching and excellent facilities for music, sport, and the arts, the popularity of boarding at schools in the UK is driven by the unique opportunities it offers young people from age 8 to 18.
A boarding education is all about learning to live with others, experiencing a shared space, working together, having extra time to try new things, and learning to stand on your own two feet. Parents of new boarders often comment that after just one half-term of boarding, their child has become more independent and confident thanks to their boarding experience.
Much of this independence and confidence comes from being with other young people, but it is also the highly trained, caring, and professional boarding staff who help them to prosper and thrive on solid foundations.
Academic results are often a major factor for parents choosing a boarding education. Value-added analysis shows that boarders tend to do even better than day pupils due to the support and encouragement they receive from boarding staff and resident teaching staff in school during evenings and weekends. Preparing young people for their future is not just about academic qualifications; they need strength of character and skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience to build happy, fulfilling, worthwhile lives.
