Dallam’s long-established boarding provision offers a high-quality and excellent-value academic and boarding experience. Set in an enviable, safe location in the English Lake District, boarders will be welcomed into a warm family environment.
Boarders can join us aged 11 and continue through our Sixth Form where we will help develop their personal and academic skills to succeed in the next stage of their lives.
“ Thank you very much for taking care as well as you have done. It has been a very good experience that for sure she is never going to forget.” Boarding parent 2021
At Dallam, your child will benefit from excellent teaching across a broad range of GCSE, A Level and BTEC subjects delivered by qualified, enthusiastic and friendly tutors, and can join in with a wide range of sports, technology and arts activities.
Our outstanding pastoral care is delivered by our experienced houseparents who will look after your child in every way and report home regularly to let you know how they are and what they have been doing.
“…the relationships between boarders and staff are extremely good, and the general standard of behaviour and community spirit exhibited by the boarders was excellent, and amongst the best I have encountered.”
