We return with our regular instalment of FAQs and things we encourage our parents to consider when trying to find top UK boarding schools. Our admissions and teaching experience help our clients focus on what is important and shortlist the schools that will be perfect for them. 

During our detailed client consultations, we will take great care to understand and establish your needs, interests and objectives. We also like to provide our clients with a list of questions to consider, these particular questions focus on everyday life and practicalities in top UK boarding schools. These questions include:

• How many breaks are there in the school day?

• What time do lessons begin and what time do they finish?

• How often does the catering menu change?

• Can the school cater for specific dietary requirements?

• How many local boarding students return home at weekends?

• What activities are available during the weekends?

• How much does the school uniform cost and are all items compulsory?

• Can UK boarding school international students open a UK bank account?

• How does police registration work and is it necessary?

• How long is the homework period (sometimes named prep)?

• Is the homework period supervised?

• Do the activity options change every day/week/term?

• How do students handle laundry?

• Do students need to bring their own bedding?

• Does the school have a checklist of items to bring?

This is just a small selection of some of the questions that we can support our clients with. Quite often we will already have the answers from students we have already helped enrol with the school and they also serve as a good method to visualise how the daily school life may look from a practical point of view. All of this ensures you have been very thorough in the decision making process and can be confident with your selection.
