So, we are delighted to announce that we have won the Boarding Schools' Association (BSA) Award for Supporting International Boarders. The award recognises the excellence of the welcome that we extend to our international pupils to ensure that every stage of children’s transition to Sedbergh is as seamless and exciting as possible. From transition, to settling in, to thriving whilst here - we support every step. Our welcome is founded in Sedbergh’s values of Humility, Ambition, Resilience and Kindness. Through HUMILITY we place ourselves in pupil’s shoes to recognise what the pupil could be experiencing. That enables us to react with KINDNESS to the pupil’s concerns whilst embedding the AMBITION and RESILIENCE that characterises our pupils – and staff. When we say that no detail is too small - we mean it.
