Entry Points
Our Academic Years
Nursery & Prep
Our private day nursery offers a warm, welcoming start to your child’s educational journey. With a focus on play-based learning and emotional development, children are supported by caring staff in a vibrant and stimulating environment that lays the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. In our Pre-Prep, curiosity is encouraged and confidence is built. Our youngest learners benefit from a rich curriculum that blends creativity, literacy, numeracy, and outdoor exploration, all within a nurturing setting that promotes kindness, respect, and independence.
Senior School
We are proud to be one of the top rated Senior Schools in Suffolk, offering a dynamic and challenging academic environment where pupils are encouraged to think critically, work collaboratively, and aim high. With excellent teaching, a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, and a strong pastoral system, students grow into confident, capable young adults.
Finborough School offers a range of scholarships for pupils to recognise and support exceptional talent in academics, sport, music, and the performing arts.
Sixth Form
In the Finborough Sixth Form, students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and future. With tailored academic pathways, expert university and careers guidance, and leadership opportunities, our Sixth Formers leave Finborough ready to make a meaningful impact in the world.
Living the 7 Habits
A whole-school approach to leadership and learning
The seven habits is common sense, the benefits to individuals of adopting the habits are extensive and therefore the benefits to organisations and the people within are plentiful.
Every half term the whole school focuses on one habit using age appropriate language and methodology. So our children in Year 1 will have written their mission statements (which is part of habit 2 Begin with the End in Mind) alongside our Year 11 students. The sixth formers help to deliver the habits to the younger pupils, which in turn reinforces their learning. As Covey states you only truly start to live the habits once you have taught them. A common language is developed both in and out of the classroom so it is not uncommon to hear 6 year olds talking about being proactive and 14 year olds looking for a win win solution!
International Studies
We welcome pupils from around the world into our inclusive and supportive UK boarding school community. With tailored English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, a strong pastoral network, and a rich cultural programme, international students thrive at Finborough.
