Description of Royal Hospital School

Royal Hospital School is one of the leading independent boarding schools for students from 11 to 18 years old. The institution is located in Suffolk County, near the bustling city of Ipswich (5 miles), in a picturesque and calm countryside.

Royal Hospital School was founded in Greenwich in 1712 - initially its profile was only young men's education, mathematics and navigation. Then the institution switched to a mixed form of studying and adopted a classic, full model of British education. At the current location, near the banks of the Stour River, the campus has been functioning since 1933.

The total number of students reaches 700 people, and foreign students come here with great pleasure - here they are attended by representatives of more than 20 countries. The quality of education is emphasized by graduation statistics: approximately 90% of graduates enterwithout problems the selected universities of Great Britain, Europe and the world.

Each student has a personal tutor who closely follows his progress and achievements. If necessary, international students can use the services of a coordinator - he connects parents and children, helps them to interact - and also attends a supporting course of a foreign language EAL or EFL.

Review about Royal Hospital School

Elizabeth
(26.09.2022)
We were at an open day at this school in 2018. There are two impressions: on the one hand, the school is really magnificent, a beautiful campus, beautiful buildings and modern comfortable dormitories. A lot of sports and various extracurricular activities. Good results of students. I was a little embarrassed by the atmosphere at school. In our opinion, the school has too strict rules and high requirements from students. For some, this can be just a big plus, since the children there study really motivated. But personally, we wanted more freedom and comfort for our daughter, so we chose another option.

For two years in a row, the child was sent to this school in a summer camp. We immediately chose this option, as I really liked the territory and the school buildings themselves. The camp program also completely suited us. During the three weeks of the program, the child was able to see a lot. Unfortunately, we had to miss one summer, as the program was not held due to the pandemic. We were very happy when the program was resumed last year.

A good school. My son goes there. Food is delicious, but the building looks weird.

We passed the entrance exams to this school in 2019. The process itself was quite time-consuming compared to entering our first school in England, it was necessary to collect characteristics, recommendations and stuff like that. The manager Julia Smaps helped with the submission of documents, to whom we are very grateful for her attentive attitude and recommendations for preparation. The exam was held in person, on the appointed day it was necessary to come to school. After the exam, we were able to see the school grounds and residences. I liked everything very much, but at the end of the exams we were told that they were not ready to accept us. We were a little upset, but not surprised, as we were warned that it was not easy to enter the school. On the recommendation of the agency, ACS Cobham was enrolled. We are satisfied with the school.

A beautiful place, a well-known elite school. The child went there for a summer program in English and was delighted with the school! A very large area, beautiful buildings, many excursions and trips to London and other major cities in England. The school had a warm pool and, according to the child, everything was generally very modern. If there was an opportunity, they would try to send the child there to study.
