Headmaster’s
Welcome

Scarborough College is an all-through, independent day and boarding school for boys and girls.  There are many advantages of providing a journey from three years old to graduation, though chiefly among these is that we know our students. We know who they are, how to work with them, and above all, how to support them. We know how to get the best out of students and it shows in our results.

We are also proudly non-selective, although this is not reflected in our results. Every year, our students’ results and final destinations astound even me. Being a non-selective school means discovering hidden gems and as you will see when you join Scarborough College, there are hidden talents in everyone.

Academic Investment

Our sustained investment in teaching and learning includes a new Sixth Form Centre, a new and purpose-built Art & Design Technology block, new Chemistry and Biology laboratories, and state-of-the-art BenQ interactive whiteboards.

These facilities, alongside small class sizes, support consistently strong outcomes: our IB results have remained above the world average year after year, with regular bilingual diplomas awarded. Over the past five years, one in five students has achieved 38+ points in the Diploma Programme – a remarkable achievement for a proudly non-selective school. With positive value-added scores across the board, our pupils thrive academically while enjoying an outstanding environment for study and discovery.

Redefine
the classroom

Among the IB Learner Profile attributes, the Risk Taker, describes a student who approaches unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with intellectual courage. They are independent to explore new roles, ideas and strategies. They are ready to be challenged, even if they might be wrong.  

 

At Scarborough College, an IB World School, not every classroom has four walls. It has been our approach for decades. Redefining the classroom is as much about a new definition of a classroom as it is a definition of what it means to teach and to learn. It challenges what and how you should be learning.
