𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬: 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 Parents considering sending their children to British Boarding Schools are astounded by the quality of facilities available for extra-curricular activities. Before beginning their applications to British boarding schools it is advisable for parents to discuss with a schools advisor the type of school best suited to their child.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 Many boarding schools have theatres and back-stage facilities that are far more spacious and modern than cramped London theatres. Consequently, it is no surprise that schools such as Eton, Harrow and Wycombe Abbey have produced an endless flow of actors who have gone on to star in films and plays.

𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Pupils can play a sport most afternoons if they choose too, frequently under the tutelage of professional specialist coaches. Consequently, it is not unknown for pupils to be selected to play for professional teams, sometimes in cricket and rugby, whilst still at school.

𝐀 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 Large schools offer a wealth of activities and sports enabling pupils to flourish at athletics, badminton, basketball, gymnastics, judo, taekwondo, squash and weightlifting.

𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 Art studios, design facilities and music recording studios are still open long after many day schools have locked their doors. It is no surprise that British boarding schools develop many artists, designers and musicians who progress to global fame.

𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 The quality of music at Britain’s best schools is astounding whether it be full orchestra, quartets, jazz or contemporary music. Inevitably many pupils progress to professional status.
