Admissions

Bede’s Prep offers a nurturing environment to live and work for all our international pupils.

The boarding community at Bede’s Prep is small and therefore offers the perfect introduction to boarding for children who are likely to be living away from home for the first time.

Wherever possible, we encourage parents to visit the School before applying as it helps the child get to know us and we them. However, we understand that for families living overseas this is not always practical and therefore we can make arrangements remotely if necessary. Usually this will involve an online meeting with parents and a chat with the child themselves. This may involve our English as an Additional Language Co-ordinator and Boarding Parent to help assess language ability and suitability for boarding. We may also ask your child to sit a Maths and English test which can be done online. Should your child require a visa to study in the UK we are happy to advise on this as well.

My wife and I found Bede’s by chance. We were looking for a boarding school in England for our eldest son and we found Bede’s. We came to visit it, we did the admission request, and because everything went well, Jose was able to study at Bede’s. We were looking for an experience to allow Jose to gain independence, improve his English and have a good experience, but above all, that allowed him to grow as a person.
