Box Hill is a co-educational school, offering day and boarding places for 11-18 year olds. We have a strong educational, artistic and sporting tradition, derived from a broad curriculum that delivers amazing results.

 

However, what makes us stand out is that we discover and nurture the talents and abilities of every student, so that they all achieve their potential – and this can be in so many ways: in the classroom, on the sports field or through interactions with other students. At Box Hill School we want all students to reach their maximum potential.

 

We also provide strong pastoral support for each pupil, with every child being assigned to a House, complete with Houseparent, common room and kitchen. Each pupil is assigned to a personal tutor within their house – a member of teaching staff who supports their academic and pastoral development.

 

‘The quality of relationships between staff and pupils and among pupils is excellent. Well-developed relationships prevail throughout the school and mutual respect, between teachers and pupils and among the pupils themselves, is clearly evident. Pupils respond extremely well to the school’s encouragement to care for and show respect to others’  [Independent Schools Inspectorate]

 

There are fantastic opportunities for personal development on the many expeditions we offer and for artistic expression through Art and Drama activities. We believe that activities outside the classroom form an important part of education, and all students take part in weekly and termly activities. As well as this regular programme, junior years take part in  expeditions around the UK twice a year, and Years 10 and above carry out an overseas expedition each summer term. Students may also have the opportunity to participate in Round Square expeditions, carrying out community based activities in locations such as Peru, South Africa and India.

 

Additionally, the school organises Round Square exchanges where Years 7 and 8 students travel to European destinations such as France and Germany, and Year 9 and above students spend up to 8 weeks in South Africa, Australia, America, Canada, India or Peru, studying and working at one of our sister schools.

 

Whatever is right for each student, these experiences, together with great pastoral care and personal attention, ensure that each student will excel.
