Every school has a personality, a heartbeat and that certain something that makes them tick. No two schools, regardless of location or whether they are state or independent, are the same. From the extra-curricular activities they provide to their inspection ratings and overall exam results with schools such as Rendcomb College, in particular, also take into account value-added in education. The term value-added is a more in-depth look at how great the outcomes are for each individual pupil’s performance - as well as the school as a whole - which can be measured on top of statistics such as exams.

We all want the best for our children, and education is right at the heart of ensuring they have a great start in life. Public schools have a renowned reputation for assisting children on a journey of growth, exploration and encouragement. Whether you’re looking at primary school, secondary schools, Sixth Form or boarding schools, there are plenty of noteworthy benefits to note down. A private education is one of the best investments you can make in your child’s future. Take a look at our page on bursaries and scholarships to find the right pathway for your child’s education.

After a week of academic studies, lessons and concentration, weekends are a chance for students to let their hair down and enjoy some time away from the classroom. At Rendcomb College we are fortunate to have an impressive array of locations and activities on our doorstep, as well as events organised on campus to bring the boarding school community together. We dispel the myths that when the weekend comes round, everyone disperses or are left alone in their rooms - quite the opposite! Our team put a great deal of effort into putting together a full and thriving programme throughout the year to make the most of the evenings and weekends spent at boarding school alongside their friends.

Within all educational environments it’s key to remember that all pupils have their own journey. Some may be better at creative subjects and sports, whilst others struggle with certain academic areas. We want every child, from Preparatory to Senior School to build on their confidence, self belief and aim to be the best version of themselves. That’s why pastoral care is a major part of what boarding schools offer. It’s a journey of well-being for all school ages, not only focusing on the academic success of boys and girls, but also their mental health too.

It’s no secret that Rendcomb College boasts an impressive performance space, The Griffin Theatre, for our pupils to build on their performing art skills and showcase their talents. One major part of our programme is dance and we are pleased to offer an ever-growing portfolio of styles and opportunities for pupils to try different areas.
