The Buckswood Education Group

Welcome to Buckswood! This booklet should be read in conjunction with the Buckswood School brochure, however as you read this booklet and try to discover the essence of the place, think of this comment from one of our former students – “it’s difficult to say what makes Buckswood so special, it’s just everything.”

Buckswood has a strong international ethos that shines through in all that we do. Our everyday environment is a global community wherein close to 30 different nationalities are represented, with the British contingent the largest single component. We operate the school within a British boarding school framework, believing structure, self-discipline and respect to be the foundations of success as an individual. We are a curious mix of the traditional and the innovative: we insist on all children using fountain pens, on table manners being adhered to, and chewing gum being banned – but also that all learn how to design a website, practise watersports in the summer term and complete a week’s work placement by the end of College.

Programmes can be tailor-made according to the group’s needs, for example, trips to London including West End musical theatre tickets (i.e. Disney’s The Lion King), or our Walking with Waterfalls weekend in Wales, or even a fabulous two day visit to the French capital, Paris (for more options, see our pick and mix schedule).

Groups will be accompanied by a dedicated Buckswood group leader at all times who takes care of the travel, accommodation and meals, and activities programme.
