Language and learning support

The school describes houseparents and round-the-clock residential care. Ask how academic help, medical needs and pastoral support fit together. Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.

Campus and daily life

The school occupies a 200-acre site near the Stour Estuary in Suffolk. Different attendance patterns affect the daily and weekly routine. Confirm the exact teaching location for the chosen year group. Check the daily journey, meals and activity timetable; a whole-school facilities list may not apply equally to every stage.

Application and budget details

For 2027 entry, the published registration and scholarship deadline is 27 November 2026. Years 7–10 entrance assessments are listed for 16 January 2027, with scholarship assessments planned for the following week. Some awards are honorary and carry no discount. Means-tested bursaries depend on family finances and the school's budget, and normally do not exceed half the full fee. Check the individual offer rather than assuming every scholarship reduces tuition.
