Do Private Boarding Schools Provide Quality Education?

0 Comments | Respond

Private boarding schools are required to pass stringent standards in terms of academic programs, quality of faculty, and quality of facilities. Needless to say, the level of education that your child will receive in a private boarding school will more than likely be high, thanks to the stringent standards and criteria that various education bodies and government authorities impose.

In the UK, boarding schools are inspected and evaluated on a regular basis to make sure that they meet the set criteria. On average, schools are inspected at least every 6 years for education and every 3 years for boarding. Here is a partial list of organizations that perform these inspections in the UK, depending on where the school is located:

  • Office for Standards in Education or Ofsted
  • Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education in Scotland
  • Estyn (Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales)
  • Independent Schools Inspectorate
  • Northern Ireland’s Education and Training Inspectorate
  • School Inspection Service, and
  • Bridge Schools Inspectorate

 

When selecting a school for your children, you should consider many factors that can and will affect the quality of education and care that they will receive from your prospective institution. It is important that you seek advice from people—specifically professional placement consultants—who can give you insights on which learning institutions are best for your requirements as well your children’s interests and inclinations. When meeting a placement consultant, don’t hesitate to ask questions about the location and the neighbourhood where the school is at, the school’s culture, as well as the facilities. Don’t forget to ask whether or not the school of your choice performs well in government and institutional inspections, and always be clear about required fees such as tuitions and additional costs that you may have to meet while your child is admitted in a particular boarding school.
