School for GirlsUK boarding schools offer you excellent teaching, facilities and support. UK education is all about giving you the inspiration to help you develop your skills and knowledge, the freedom to be creative and the support to help you achieve your best.

Most UK boarding schools are co-educational, teaching both boys and girls (classes are mixed, but accommodation is separate). There are many single-sex schools too.

Studying at a UK boarding school is a great grounding for your chosen career. UK qualifications are respected and recognised by employers worldwide. It’s not just about qualifications, though. By living in the UK and making friends with students from all around the world, you will get the opportunity to perfect your English language skills and gain a unique understanding of other cultures – excellent preparation for living or working internationally.

At Girls’ Boarding Schools we focus on providing girls with an all round education which will ensure that they have the best possible opportunities when they move on to the next stage in their lives.

Girls’ boarding schools are known for their high level of pastoral care, excellent academics and extra-curricular enrichment activities. These schools offer a girls’ only education, but most schools organise joint events with local boys’ schools, so there are opportunities for socialising. Some girls’ boarding schools welcome boys in the sixth form, so be sure to find out from the school whether this is the case.

Academic Excellence

Girls’ boarding schools consistently come high the league tables, and for good reason. Within a single-sex environment, and without the worry of embarrassment or distraction, girls are able to achieve their fullest potential. There are a wide range of subjects on offer, from English, maths and science, to modern languages, history and technology. Within the single-sex environment, girls are able to pick subjects that they enjoy and are given plenty of opportunity to excel.

Outside of academics, girls’ boarding schools offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities including drama, dance and music lessons. These activities supplement the girls’ learning and help them to become well-rounded future leaders.

Boarding Facilities

Girls’ boarding schools offer a nurturing and supportive environment for students, and the boarding facilities are no exception. Boarding schools offer a number of different arrangements, from single rooms, to doubles, to dorms- there are lots of options for girls to choose from. Boarding houses become a home away from home for the girls and there are lots of activities on offer to help the girls settle in.

Benefits of Girls’ boarding schools

There are many benefits to sending your daughter to a girls’ only school. She will have the opportunity to thrive in a supportive environment that is tailored towards her learning styles and needs, whilst being supported by her peers.

Girls do think differently to boys; their conceptions of hierarchy, competition, communication, styles of leadership and approaches to teamwork frequently differ from those of boys and are increasingly sought after by employers. It is important for girls to develop these outlooks and see their models gain credibility. In the co-educational school, boys can sometimes demand more attention. Girls are often more willing to work quietly or co-operate with each other, which ultimately gives teachers more time to deal with the numerous questions that boys tend to ask during lessons.

The importance of challenging girls and supporting their needs remains a key priority in an all-girls school, where there can be a greater emphasis placed on developing effective strategies for learning. Adolescence is obviously a time of change, but it is also a time when understanding and appropriate support are critical in the development and success of an individual. A secure working environment, where confidence and self-esteem can be nurtured, is extremely important.
