Our accreditations and memberships act as a quality seal of approval and certify that your child is studying at one of the UK’s Top-Ranked Multi-Campus Summer School, as ranked by El Gazette.
Summer Boarding Courses are currently the very best British Council accredited residential summer schools in the UK based on the EL Gazette analysis of their inspection results.
In 2018, SBC became the first, and only, multi-campus summer school to be awarded an area of strength in every one of the 15 categories assessed by the British Council in their inspection. It is important parents and students are confident not just in the accreditation of the course, but also the number of strengths the provider holds.
Areas of strengths were noted in 15/15 areas, including:
Care of Students, Safeguarding Under 18s, Teaching, and Leisure opportunities. To read our full report, please click here.
