Think of boarding schools and you probably picture something like Hogwarts, but without the magic! It’s true that today, there are thousands of children under the age of 11 in a UK boarding school for girls or boys, which can often accept children at the age of eight and usually rises in the secondary years.

There seems to be a huge number of southern-based children in boarding education at present, with boarding schools kent the most popular county. Since the Harry Potter films, boarding school has actually become a more popular dream for children as it is seen as a cool and fun thing to do.

The old image of these schools was of children not being allowed home until the holidays, but many children these days actually go home on a lot of weekends. Parents are also encouraged to come to the school for events such as concerts, plays and swimming galas.
