Box Hill School

Box Hill School is a Round Square School, and thus encourages compassion in pupils and a 'just go for it'-attitude to exploring their potential. And it does so extremely well: with a wealth of extracurricular activities on offer, good arts, music and sports options, this is a place where anyone can 'have a go' to their hearts' content. Encouraging teachers help along the way.
Von Bülow Education placed 1 pupils here in 2023.

The school offers German, Spanish, French, Italian, Mandarin, Russian and Japanese.

Boarding:

40% of pupils board. About 30% of pupils at the school are international, which given that the school is a Round Square school and offers the IB is not surprising.

Six homely boarding houses, two on campus, four within a 2-minute walk from campus.

No exeat weekends.

Strengths:

Box Hill School is academically inclusive and adaptable, and achieves amazing results for both weak and strong pupils. Its dedicated, individual support is key here.

The Round Square philosophy makes Box Hill School a school full of activities and purpose - from adventurous self-discovery while rock climbing in Wales to experiencing democray first-hand through the school's Model United Nations initiative, pupils push the envelope and have fun.

Weaknesses:

The school's boarding facilities are in need of a touch up. The school recently told us that this was being prioritized.
