AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE
Situated in an idyllic green valley in the Yorkshire countryside, Ampleforth College has a proud history as the leading Catholic boarding school in the English Public School tradition. The school has long been considered the “Catholic Eton”, alluding to its status as a magnet for the children of the aristocratic classes and noble families. The school is famous for its beautiful campus, its embrace of the traditional country lifestyle, and for the eminent Amplefordians who have walked its hallowed halls. The school has undergone a significant recent transformation, seeking to restore its status as one of the world’s great boarding schools and a shining example of best practice in pastoral care and safeguarding. The school remains a bastion of the Roman Catholic elite, having been the preferred school for Roman Catholic boys since its foundation by the Benedictines in 1802.

RUGBY SCHOOL
One of England’s most-celebrated schools, Rugby School is the prototype for the English Public School model. Under the illustrious Thomas Arnold, who was headmaster of the school between 1828 and 1841, Rugby embodied the concept of muscular Christianity and came to define what an English Public School should be. With that came, also, the creation of a code of football which came to be the sport of the English Upper and Upper Middle classes – namely rugby football. Rugby, today, is an excellent fee-paying, co-educational boarding school which offers a university-preparatory education to pupils between the ages of 13 and 18. It’s associated preparatory school, Bilton Grange, completes the offer with an all-through education from the age of 3 with junior boarding as an option.
