At Earlscliffe, we treat each student as a member of our family. Our ethos prioritises an education that develops the whole person and prepares students for the complexities of modern life. We look forward to welcoming your family to ours and helping your child become a confident, compassionate, and successful individual ready to make a positive impact on the world.
We tailor each student’s educational journey to their strengths, interests, and future ambitions. Our dedicated approach ensures that every student receives the guidance, support, and opportunities they need to excel academically and personally.
With an average class size of seven, our students benefit from individualised attention and a supportive learning environment. This personalised approach leads to significant academic improvements and helps students to build meaningful relationships with their teachers.
Regular testing and monitoring provide parents with consistent updates on their child’s progress. This rigorous approach ensures that students achieve high grades and secure places at prestigious universities.
Our full-time University and Careers Advisor begins working with students soon after their arrival to help them identify their goals and talents. We also collaborate with top educational organisations, including Oxbridge Applications and A-List Education, to provide students with the best chances of success.
We offer a range of programmes, including GCSEs, Pre A-Level, A-Levels, and the Diploma in Business and Management (equivalent to two A-levels). Designed for both UK and international students, these courses prepare them for top universities. A-Level students typically complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), strengthening university applications and key academic skills.
Education at Earlscliffe extends beyond academics. Our enrichment activities—sports, cultural experiences, and service opportunities—help students develop leadership, creativity, and resilience.
Student wellbeing is central to our ethos. Confidence and resilience grow in a supportive environment, guided by our Wellbeing Champions, who promote mental health and personal development through our values of Community, Respect, and Personal Growth.
Our small, nurturing community fosters independence while ensuring strong support. Experienced House Parents create a safe, balanced boarding environment where students feel valued, respected, and at home.
Choosing Earlscliffe means embracing an academically rich and culturally diverse British boarding school experience, all within the beautiful seaside setting of Folkestone, just 52 minutes from London. We offer both Full Boarding and Weekly Boarding options to suit the needs of our students and their families.
