All homestay options have one thing in common however - they all provide a warm and friendly welcome to international students.

Getting to know your homestayEvery homestay is diff erent, but every host is experienced in looking after international students. If you have any questions or if there’s anything you don’t understand about your homestay, we always advise students to speak directly to their homestay host.

LocationMany of our homestays are within a 20-minute walk of the college or on a suitable bus or train route.

Our guaranteeWe visit all of our homestay hosts to make sure that they are able to provide a safe and welcoming home environment for our students, and to ensure that they off er comfortable accommodation that meets our students’ needs. We encourage students to take the opportunities off ered by homestay hosts to engage with life in the household, as this will enhance your experience of living and studying in Britain.

Despite our detailed matching process, sometimes students do not settle well in their homestay and wish to move to another homestay, or change to another form of accommodation. We always work with students and homestay providers to resolve any issues that arise and we will move students who have not settled well as soon as possible if issues cannot be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.

Support for homestay studentsThe college Welfare and Safeguarding Team is always on hand to help students to settle in and to answer any questions they may have. In addition, we conduct regular student surveys to check that students are happy with their accommodation.

Younger studentsExtra measures are put in place to safeguard students in homestay who are under the age of 16. Local Social Services teams will visit students under 16 in their homestay accommodation to ensure that their needs are being met and that their environment is as safe, secure and nurturing as it should be.

* Please note homestay is not available in London for students under 16. All international GCSE Pathway students at Brighton must reside on campus.

British law does not allow discrimination between ethnicity, origin, religion, sexuality or disability.

For each pathway we have carefully selected subject combinations to prepare you for future university degrees within your fi eld. You will still have plenty of choice and opportunities to study other subjects alongside your pathway. For example, you could combine the Science and Engineering pathway with a GCSE in Drama.

If you join the programme in Year 10 you will need to choose your pathway straightaway. Your teachers will regularly review your progress to make sure you are on the right pathway.

For students with a particularly high academic ability we off er an Oxbridge pathway, which is subject to assessment.

Our GCSE Programme Housemistress, Susan Mackenzie, provides a sympathetic ear, excellent pastoral care and ongoing support. Our lovely residential team

includes an assistant houseparent, matron and other supervisors. Together they oversee care and day-to-day routines. This includes meal-time registers, ensuring you understand where you need to be at diff erent times of the day, and what is expected of you at Bellerbys.

A comprehensive pathway to successBy the age of 13, many students have already begun to discover their passions and develop clear career aspirations. The GCSE Pathway Programme gives you the opportunity to explore your interests and build the life and study skills you will need in your future university applications.

Our enrichment activities really bring subjects to life, allowing you to learn around your subjects and giving you a fully rounded educational experience. Throughout the programme our team of experienced teachers off er one-to-one guidance and support to ensure you enjoy your studies, fulfi l your personal and academic potential, and achieve excellent GCSE exam results.

Every year our students go on to academic success at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities. We’d like you to meet a few of our top students from 2014.

Maria from Russian FederationStudied A Level and achieved A*ABBBStudying Nutrition at King’s College London

Angelika from IndonesiaStudied A Level and achieved A*AABStudying English Literature at the University of East Anglia

Being able to take part in the Medics meetings gave me the

opportunity to speak in public and also widen my knowledge in certain biomedical topics. The support the teachers gave me with my personal statement helped me to get off ers from all the universities I applied to.

I worked on the school newsletter and I learned how to organise

events and how to write and edit in a journalistic context. Also, as part of the enrichment programme I was able to take part in the EPQ research project which improved my critical thinking and essay writing skills.

Ho Thu from VietnamStudied A Level and achieved A*AAStudying Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science

Mukhamedrakhim from KazakhstanStudied Business, Finance and Management Foundation and achieved 84%Studying Accounting and Finance at Cass Business School, City University London

Being in the Economics Club helped me expand my

knowledge beyond the syllabus and the classroom. It didn’t feel like learning but more like getting to know more about my own interests and hobbies.

The Economics Society fascinated me with a range of fi nancial and

economic issues and gave me the opportunity to learn more about the subjects that interested me outside of the curriculum.


Ilsina from Russian FederationStudied A Level and achieved A*A*AABStudying Government and Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science

Safi ah from SingaporeStudied Science & Pharmacy Foundation and achieved 83%Studying Medicine at Royal College of Surgeons Ireland

Chibuikem from NigeriaStudied Engineering Foundation and achieved 90%Studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Surrey

Takenori from JapanStudied A Level and achieved AAAStudying Biomedical Science at King’s College London

I was able to join a number of diff erent clubs and societies

whilst at Bellerbys, all of which gave me a more in depth knowledge of the subjects I was studying. Being in the Economics Society and Debating Society improved my oratory and critical thinking skills. They also organised violin classes and this helped to develop my creativity.

I chose Bellerbys because I wanted to

study medicine at the RCSI and the Foundation programme was tailored according to their requirements. The teachers were dedicated and focused on the syllabus - this helped me gain a deeper understanding of the subjects I was studying.

The interactive classes helped me to maintain my enthusiasm

about learning and helped to deepen my interest in science. The teachers also taught me the importance of communication and organisation skills.

I chose to study at Bellerbys because I was impressed that

it was the No.1 ranked international school in the UK. And I believe their reputation as a world-class teaching institution was of utmost benefi t and gave me an advantage over others.
