We are proud to have been welcoming international students to Pocklington School for many years.
International Boarding at Pocklington School
We welcome short-term students to join Pocklington School for one or two terms, starting at the beginning of the Michaelmas, Lent or Summer term (in September, January or April). Students value the whole boarding school experience at Pocklington School whilst making huge progress with their English language skills.
Short-term boarders are quickly immersed into life in our boarding community, enjoying all the opportunities our longer-term students love. We regularly have siblings, friends and family of former pupils joining us for a short-term stay knowing that their stay will also be a memorable one. Students are given a bespoke timetable, accounting for subjects currently studied, their native language and interests.
Our international students are committed, eager to learn and often speak several languages. They are valuable members of our community and Pocklington School is a richer place as we benefit and learn much from them.
We also offer longer term stays, please get complete the contact form to discover more about these options for your child.
Pastoral care at the heart of our approach
International students at Pocklington School are an integral part of our School community. To ensure their continued happiness and wellbeing, all international students have a personal tutor in addition to their form tutor. Our EAL teachers work closely with boarding staff and subject teachers and regularly communicate with students' guardians and families.
A buddy system is used to ensure all our international students settle into school life quickly.
School life at Pocklington
The values of Courage, truth and trust drive all that we do at Pocklington and our students leave School with the character and skills required for life-long learning, alongside a deep sense of responsibility.
Come and see for yourself.
