Each year, most boarding schools offer the capability for children to enjoy the benefits of a ‘home away from home’ education with the assistance of scholarships and bursaries.

Many North West region parents choose a boarding school education for their children for a variety of reasons – accessibility to schools within a reasonable distance of home, family tradition – mothers and fathers who enjoyed learning and life at boarding school want their children to have the same opportunity – and the foremost reason, the depth of educational, sport, cultural and social opportunities boarding schools provide.
