Dallam School: Milnthorpe, Cumbria, UK

Top state boarding school in England

Dallam School in Milnthorpe, Cumbria is a great solution for those looking for affordable boarding school in UK. Dallam is one of the top 10 state boarding schools in England! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A UK STATE BOARDING SCHOOL, APPLICATIONS WELCOMED ONLY FROM EU PASSPORT HOLDERS! We are proud of the quality of education Dallam gives to its students. Standards in external examinations are significantly higher than in most IB schools in England with boarding  and students have very good attitudes to learning. Expectation of this state boarding school is that all students will achieve to their full potential at 16 years old and that most will stay on to further study in years 12 and 13. Of those, the great majority will go on to university, with others going into high quality training and employment. Achievement at our top state boarding school is broad. Whether through our extensive arts or sports programmes, we expect all students to contribute to the wider life of the school. Challenge and adventure, for example, through our Duke of Edinburgh Scheme is a particular feature of this best state boarding school.  As a long established specialist language college, and the first school in the country to be designated as an adventure learning school, we aim to be at the leading edge of developments in learning and teaching. We have a very healthy boarding section, with young people from around the world enriching enormously the cultural diversity of our state boarding school. Above all, we are a community school, meeting the learning needs of local people from pre-school to active retirement, and developing our learning programmes for 11 to 19 year olds within that wider community. There has recently been a major building programme, providing the latest in educational facilities for our students. We want to remain a relatively small school, however, able to know all students as individuals whilst being large enough to offer the full range of educational opportunities, including a wide curriculum in years 12 and 13.
