Boarding Life in a British Boarding School
How does a typical day in a British boarding school look like?
On school days (Monday to Friday), most schools follow a similar timetable as shown below.
On weekends, there could be more variations in different schools, but instead of having lessons, students normally do sports, extra-curricular and leisure activities on Saturday and Sunday. Routine activities tend to happen on Saturday mornings, to allow more free time on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. Under supervision of boarding staff, students may even visit the high street for some shopping and other activities.
To speed up their transition into British school life, international students may attend English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lessons to improve their English, when local students are attending foreign language lessons or extra-curricular activities.
