Well, sort of. I'm very probably going to boarding school next half term on the Gloucestershire/South Wales border! Quite a way, considering I live about 30 miles south of London!
I'm really excited and everything, as I've been taught at home (well, had to teach myself mostly as my parents work) for the past term, after leaving my school as I didn't really like it.
I've only ever been to private school, but I've never boarded before.
Does anyone here go to boarding school? Anyone got any tips for me?
Ife' nevr been, but good luck with it. I have some mates that go to various ones, and they find it great, so you'll be fine. Plus, you'll have more stablity than with a home tutor

I thought that as well! :D
Having said that I haven't boarded, that's not strictly true, I had to board for 2 nights at school (you can board there, I just didn't as it was 5 miles up the road).
I didn't like it much, but then that's probably because I didn't like the girls who board.
Otherwise I'd have loved it!
I just pray I get on with the people at this school!
If not, that'll be about 20,000 pounds a year down the drain for my parents. :nono:
good luck with it but it sounds fun. how often do you get to go home
good luck with it. Im sure it will be fine. My uncle teachers at a boarding school and everyone ges on really well with everyone. You also get a really close relationship with the teachers. Thats what he said anyway.
what can you do in your leisure time, like go on computers or what?
At my incles they have like a farm and horses and stuff. He taught this one girl and Art GCSE in her free time and now shes of to go to an Art foundation course. Theres loads of Sports teams and Music activitys and they do drama stuff all the time. I dont know if there al like that but thats what its like at my Uncles. Ive never been to a boarding school, or private so i dont know personal experience. Good old local comp for me.

You can do plenty in your leisure time.
I'll probably get to go home every about fortnight. But my cousins live up the road from the school, so they'll take me for the weekends that I can't make it back down South. :)
