Studying

Comprehensive Approach

This British school welcomes children from age two and offers boarding facilities. Its two campuses are located in Bournemouth: the senior campus sits just a five-minute walk from Southbourne beaches, while the preparatory campus is nestled in the quiet suburb of Lower Parkstone.

Holistic Approach at Bournemouth Collegiate School

BCS structures education to encompass both academic progress and personal development. Through this approach, students gain the skills and confidence they need to move forward in their chosen direction. For international students, Bournemouth provides diverse programmes with a set number of EAL lessons per week, depending on the group.

Language Support

BCS understands what EAL students face, especially those who’ve recently arrived in the UK. Here, an environment has been created where they can access the full curriculum while receiving necessary support. For middle-year pupils, Bournemouth Collegiate prepares students for the Cambridge English test—a widely recognised exam that confirms written and spoken language proficiency.

A Level Preparation at Bournemouth Collegiate School

For students from abroad, BCS has developed specialised A Level preparation courses that cover both language and academic aspects. Within the programme, students can take GCSE in their native language, IGCSE in mathematics, and complete intensive English preparation.

Sixth Form Experience

Sixth form at Bournemouth School helps develop independence, responsibility, and personal qualities. In an atmosphere built on mutual respect and recognition of individuality, students are encouraged to manage their workload independently. Around a hundred pupils create a diverse environment where each receives personal support while completing the A-level programme.
