Located on a glorious 480-acre estate, Culford is known for
excellent pastoral care and strong academic results. Students
learn in an environment of exceptional natural beauty, and
outstanding facilities blend the best of traditional British
architecture with modern comforts.
Small by design, Culford’s one-year GCSE programme delivers
a personalised learning experience within a supportive
and caring environment. A dedicated team of staff skilled
in working with English as an Additional Language (EAL)
learners teach core subjects, study-skills, and courses in health
and personal development. Teachers accommodate each
pupil’s needs and learning style using a mixture of traditional
teaching methods and advanced IT resources.
Students are fully immersed in the life of the school and enjoy
a full British boarding school experience. They live in the
boarding Houses, where a dedicated Houseparent cares for
their personal development and well-being. In addition, the
IGCSE Tutor oversees the pastoral and academic needs of each
pupil on the programme. At Culford, we care deeply about
the well-being of each student, which is why our pastoral
care has been rated as ‘excellent’ by the Independent Schools
Inspectorate in their latest report.
Nurtured and challenged by this intensive and enriching
programme, successful students may go on to study A-levels at
Culford and other prestigious UK boarding schools.
