Boarding at Earlscliffe is so much more than a place to sleep: it’s a genuine home away from home in the heart of beautiful Folkestone. Earlscliffe is a small, private boarding school in Kent for students aged 15 to 19, so our boarding is designed for older teenagers, including sixth form students preparing for university. Students live in one of six boarding houses, with boys and girls living separately, each led by a House Manager who supports them every day. With a qualified school nurse and fully trained wellbeing staff, boarders are known, cared for and encouraged to grow in confidence.
