Cobham Hall was founded as an international boarding school for girls aged between eleven and eighteen by Bhicoo Batlivala in 1962.[4][5] The school now accepts both day and boarding students. Since September 2022, Cobham Hall has also accepted boys into its Sixth Form. Approximately one-third of students are boarders, both UK and international; some 25 nationalities are represented.
Curriculum
Girls in Years 7 to 9 broadly follow the English National Curriculum alongside a skills-based development programme. Girls in Middle School (up to Year 11) follow the GCSE curriculum.[6] In the Sixth Form, A Levels are studied as part of a broad curriculum which also encompasses the Extended Project Qualification, The Ivy House Award, Global Critical Thinking, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award or Service, Sport, and a Tutorial programme to support students through the university application process. The school has a specialist EFL Department, as well as a CReSTeD accredited Student Support Department.
The school also offers a range of tailored programmes for international students, including a Pre-A Level Course. Intensive English Support programmes are available for those whose first language is not English.
