Boarding Schools in the UK

Advantages of boarding schools:

1. Personal Attention

Boarding schools often have smaller class numbers than day schools, and this, together with the fact that boarding school staff will spend much more time with their students, can help teachers to engage and encourage each individual in the classroom.

2 Teaching Staff

Boarding schools can often afford to pay their teaching staff higher salaries and therefore employ more qualified teachers and other members of staff faculty. These teachers may have advanced degrees in their subject or extra teaching qualifications that can help them to help student development.

3 Better Resources

Boarding schools are often located in the countryside with top class facilities such as the well-stocked libraries, sports fields and equipment and science laboratories. These may be available to students outside of the school day too, so they can enjoy personal hobbies in their own time.

4. Encouraging Personal Responsibility

Schooling methods in boarding schools help pupils to become independent and mature individuals. Students are away from home life, and have to make their own choices about day to day decisions but also bigger choices such as organizing one’s time. At the same time, boarding schools offer supportive teaching staff, which will usually include medical doctors and nurses, counselling services and advice.

5. Making Strong Friendships

Boarding school students often say they have been able to make very intense friendships with fellow boarders as they gain the closeness of living together from a young age. Friends made at boarding schools will often become friends for life, with whom boarders share childhood memories.
