Boarding Schools Cambridge

It is important to choose a 6th form boarding school for your child carefully – they will be learning in a new environment and they will have only two years to achieve top grades. There are many 6th form boarding schools in Cambridge, so you may find it a little difficult to settle on one. With some research, however, you can find a boarding school that will help your child get into a good university. Here are some tips:
•    Do you want a co-educational or same sex school? Many schools in the UK take students of the same sex but it doesn’t mean that you have to settle for one of these. The decision should ultimately lie with you and your child. If you both feel that it is best to learn without distractions of the opposite sex then you should choose a same sex marriage.
•    If you want your child to enjoy a wider range of weekend activities it is important to choose a school that has more boarders than day students. If there are many students in the school over the weekend the range of extracurricular activities tends to be bigger.
•    How much will I need to pay? Different boarding schools charge different fees and you need to know what you will pay for the two years that your child will be in school. Don’t forget to factor in the cost of uniform, trips, extracurricular activities and more.
One of the best boarding schools in Cambridge is the Cambridge Centre for Sixth Form Studies. It has a great faculty and they teach a wide variety of subjects. The boarding facilities at CCSS are excellent so your child will be comfortable. The school also provides a variety of evening and weekend activities.
