Academic Boarding Schools

Your child has always done well in school, but when you enrolled them in a private boarding school their performance dropped – what could be the problem? Private boarding schools in England offer top quality education for young people, but that is not to say that they all excel. Some of them, by their nature, are extremely competitive and some children who are bright end up not doing very well.
If you are concerned about your child’s falling grades the first thing you should do is talk to them about it. Ask them whether they like they school – or more importantly, whether there is anything they wish was different about their learning environment. You may find that they don’t like some of their teachers or they have a problem with some of the students. If the problem is the teachers you should talk to the school about what can be done – if the teacher has a particularly lax or strict approach the school can get them to adjust. If your concerns are not addressed you should put them in writing and raise them in meetings, and if you don’t get any recourse you should think about transferring your child to a different school.
If your child has a problem with some of the students find out what can be done to get them to an environment where they can learn better. You should be particularly concerned if your child is being bullied. Remember bullying comes in many forms and it can scar children for life, so you should be keen to get the situation handled properly.
The best schools offer a safe and conducive environment for all children to learn, and at the Cambridge Centre for Sixth Form Studies your child will get both these things. You can find out more on https://www.ccss.co.uk/.
