WelcomINg CHILDREN FROM ACROSS THE WORLD

We warmly welcome pupils from around the world to our amazing school and our homely boarding community. Pupils are known for settling quickly into our community, making friends who will, in all likelihood, be friends for life.
We will welcome your child into our community and celebrate the diversity of culture that comes with them into our school. They will enjoy:

Excellent academic tuition

All Hallows is well known for the fantastic learning environment, where children regularly achieve above and beyond their expectations. Our teachers are very well qualified and passionate about what they teach, inspiring the children to take an active role in their learning. Academic attainment is excellent with a number of pupils gaining academic scholarships to their senior schools each year.

Our English as an Foreign Language (EFL) tuition, which is provided by a specialist teacher within the school setting, and provides additional support in developing language skills and the opportunity to take internationally recognised examinations.

Outstanding opportunities with a broad curriculum

Your child will have outstanding educational opportunities across a broad curriculum where core academic subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and Languages are complemented by TPR, Humanities and PSHE. Outside the classroom, the children enjoy Creative Design Technology, Art, Music, Drama and Sport.

A strong focus on Co-Curricular

We are immensely proud of the extensive Co-Curricular Programme that we have developed at All Hallows. This ensures all our pupils have access to a breadth of opportunity throughout every aspect of the school day. From lessons with peripatetic tutors in Harp, Singing, Electric Guitar, Drums and so much more... to scheduled time engaging with our Tennis Academy, and specialist Saturday Enrichment Programme. 

A warm and caring boarding environment

Your child will be welcomed into our our boarding family with outstanding care from our dedicated residential team.

A busy day!

Your child will enjoy an active life outside the school day as well as time for relaxation and catching up on those all important video calls with family.

A truly immersive experience

All our international pupils enjoy an immersive language experience as well as our broad and innovative curriculum. Additional English programmes are tailored to each individual. In the interests of providing the very best experience for each and every pupil, we restrict the number of children speaking the same language who first language is not English so early application is recommended.

Length of stay

To make the most of a British prep school experience, we recommend that pupils join us for a minimum period of one year and preferably longer. Pupils joining us on this basis take priority.

If we have availability, we are very happy for pupils to join us for just 1 or 2 terms or to come for a few weeks as a short stay taster experience prior to returning to All Hallows at a later date.

Visits

We warmly welcome visitors by prior appointment  alongside video conferences with our Head and prospective parents, their children and educational agents.

Educational Guardians

We require all children whose parents live overseas to appoint an Educational Guardian. Whilst we are not able to recommend guardians, we are happy to share with you information about guardians we have worked with in the past. Packages offered range from emergency cover only or just arranging host families for exeats to full guardianship where you can be represented at parents evenings and other school functions.

ExEats and Half Terms

We have a small number of exeats (usually just 3) during the school year where the school is closed. Generally, our British pupils love inviting their overseas friends home for these weekends.

Families might like to take the opportunity to visit the UK during half terms, you will find a selection of local and recommended places to stay by clicking here. With easy access to Bath, Bristol and London and local attractions such as Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Wells Cathedral and much more there is plenty to keep everyone busy.

Students are accompanied by All Hallows staff for the journey from school to Madrid Airport where they can be collected by their parents.
