Day or Boarding?

At independent Schools (85%) are day pupils. They tend to be drawn from a wider area than those at state Schools: often day pupils travel 15 miles or more to UK Boarding School. Many The Boarding Schools Directory & Guide make special transport arrangements but, in choosing day Schools, you should consider the public transport available.

Boarding: These range from Schools which are all-boarding or very close to it, to mainly day Schools which offer boarding facilities for a few pupils. An increasing number of The Boarding Schools Directory & Guide offer weekly boarding, where the pupil comes home at weekends.
