[edit] Overview
Buckswood School currently boards about half of the school of 340, while the other half are enrolled as day pupils. Schooling starts from the age of 10, unlike most secondary schools that start at the age of 11; and finishes at the age of 16. There is also a college (sixth form) that further educates 16-18 year olds, however this is not a mandatory part of their education service. Approximately 45% of all students are from over-seas with the student body representing over 36 contries, including: Germany, Russia, U.S.A., Argentina, Nigeria, South Africa, China, Korea and Japan, with British students forming the other 55%. Fees are roughly 9,000 pounds sterling per annum for day pupils and 18,000 pounds sterling per annum for boarders. Bursaries and scholorships are available to provide between a 10% and 30% discount.
