The BSA

The Boarding Schools’ Association is the United Kingdom Association serving and representing member boarding schools, training staff and promoting boarding education.

We hope that you find our new site interesting, informative and easy to use. If you do experience any teething problems, please let us know and we will endeavour to fix it as soon as possible. This is a working site and we really appreciate your input for improvements.

Schools and teachers; please do take a look at the BSA section of the website as well as the Members section for information on the Roehampton Professional Development and National Standards, and contact details for our Executive Committee, made up of representatives from each accredited association. Don’t forget to check Job Search if you wish to advertise or apply for a position within a boarding school.

Parents; do take a moment to read about the advantages of boarding, information on International Baccalaureate and other useful information in our Parents and Pupils section and use our new and improved School Search to look for the right school for your child, whether you seek horse-riding, Chinese, Navy training or dance in addition to all that you would expect from any school. We understand that finding a school can be difficult, which is why we have attempted to make this process as easy for you as possible.
