Our Location

Finborough School is proud to be one of the leading day and boarding schools in Suffolk, offering a unique educational environment that combines academic excellence with personal growth and adventure. Nestled within 40 acres of beautiful countryside, our campus provides a safe and spacious space for our pupils.

Located just outside the market town of Stowmarket, and within easy reach of Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, Finborough School enjoys the best of both town and rural life. Our location makes us an ideal choice for families looking for a top UK boarding school that offers a close knit community alongside outstanding educational and extra-curricular opportunities.

With excellent transport connections, Finborough is accessible for all and we are always happy to support families with the logistics of getting their child to school. Many of our pupils travel via train or the school bus routes, or a combination of both, to reach us.

Direct train routes to London take just over an hour, and our proximity to major train stations makes travel across Suffolk – and beyond – simple and convenient. We also offer school transport options and are within reach of several international airports, making it easy for overseas families to visit.

We are just…

• 1 hour and 10 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station
• 1 hour from historic Cambridge
• Over an hour from London Stansted Airport
• Under an hour to the beautiful Essex and Suffolk coastlines
