Great school, only beautiful memories remain from my 6 years of study at Sherborne. This school offers much more freedom compared to other boarding schools as boarding houses are scattered around the town and you can go to the shops and roam around freely in the town.
My child is a long time away from this, but do you think it’s better for high schoolers to go to boarding school or private school, where they sleep at home? Do you feel like you missed out on any critical skills that could only be learned in a home setting? I love how boarding school helps children mature and be independent, but I wouldn’t want my child to feel like I was trying to get rid of them or don’t enjoy them being home.
I was sent to boarding school. I was on family farm. I was lonely. At school had a group of friends, I am still friends with them. Each to their own. Suits some. I loved it.
I went to an all girls boarding school from age 10 to 16. It was difficult in my first year but once I adapted to the environment, I looked forward to going back after the holidays. Made lifelong friends there ❤
Ahh the old days, I attended boarding school from the age of 11 until I sat my IGCSEs, comradery was the most valued thing between the boys, I was class president until I left, a lot of precious memories not easily forgotten - The sound of the rain hammering your window at night with your roommates snoring in the dark, or the sunny days on the field playing cricket, days long past but forged into my soul
I know the discipline thing is often what people hate on boarding school for, but as a massive procrastinator I kind of envy being forced to study and exercise and go to bed at the same time each day lol
I think the main reason it has become this much of a problem for so many is that parents usually don't teach routine anymore but let the kids be kids, meaning they never get used to it and will struggle to make it a habit when they are adults.
I'm not used to the culture of boarding school. I think if you are a parent of a son or daughter, I think it is important to be active in your kids life. School is part of the equation, but family and home life is just as important. I would want my future kid to be smart, but I don't want to throw the books where they have to study 12 hour days with very little sleep where it's constantly go go go. Kids sometimes need time to relax. I support people in having active life styles of it's by their own free fill. For me I couldn't go from sunrise to sunset and I'd want to come home to see my family. I wouldn't want a school to raise my children while I become the distant parent. If I was a parent, I feel it is my job to raise my children and be actively involved in their lives. I do support year round school, but there is a time and place where balancing education with fun and other social activities is just as important.
I agree, however sometimes it is the better option, expecially in the teenage years. If you find your family often moving cities, something many military families go through, it may be more stable for your child to stay at the same school, expecially in the pivitol last years of school, moving and having to make new friends in a new school can be daughting and neer impossible when theres established friend groups
Boarding school since 8 years old is a bit depressing I think. I think it can be nice for teens or even just secondary school but why would a primary school child need that?
I showed one of my grandchildren pictures and video of the school I had attended (in the way back when) and she exclaimed...oh you went to Hogwarts Grandma !! I think she has always, since then, been watching me closely for odd behavior.
Being educated in Sherborne looks beautiful! However, I believe the school was initially founded in 705 AD (by St Aldhelm), but then re-founded in 1550 after the dissolution of the monasteries. Apparently the oldest continuously operational school in England is “King’s School Canterbury”, which was established all the way back in 597AD! Anyway, thanks for the video.
Not necessarily. Not every family is a pleasure to be confined within, and dysfunctional families come in all shapes and sizes whatever their class. Personally I left home at 15 and never looked back. I've had zero contact with my family over 42 years and am perfectly happy with that. I'm married, a father and grandfather, I run my own business and am content. Too many families, (not all, but quite a few), play psychological games with each other, laying expectations and disapproval on certain members. In many households there are subtle and poisonous forms of control going on every day. If you live within a happy healthy and properly functioning family then I would say you're lucky. Me personally, I would have loved boarding school. More time with friends and less time with those I got dumped with through genetics.
I agree with you E G.. these rich parents throw their kids away for someone else to take care of them while they go on lavish vacations with other rich parents. Sad really.
I don't think it's problematic for teens. It's a different argument for little kids but this is 13-18. That's the age you're supposed to become more independent and separate yourself from your family identity. You're still home for holidays, summers, and even weekends sometimes. It's not much less time than a teen who has a part time job and/or a lot of activities in terms of time spent together.
My brother went to one of the top military boarding schools on the north east coast and CAN CONFIRM it is NOT glamorous and NOTHING LIKE EFFIN HOGWARTS. 🤦🤦🤦
Nice school. Back in highschool, all we ever cared about were girls and parties.😂 It was actually a surprise for me to pass the SAT and finish a degree afterwards.
I respect the discipline of these kids. Oh, God. We're crying just thinking about going on a military training and then there are these kids doing thousands of activity in one day. o7

totally understand parents who dont want to deal with their kids everyday and then send the kids to boarding schools. Without picking up kids from school, helping them with their homework, making them dinner, those parents have much more freedom to do their lives. Haizz, and sadly it is different from my Asian parent. They are planning to move the family to Australia at their age of 50, take farming and cleaning jobs so that my little brothers can have better education and be taken care of. They could wait until my brothers are a litte bit older and send them to an Australian boarding school, but they just don't. They want to be close to take care of and have connection with their kids.
I grew up in the US and I attended public schools. I always lived at home and commuted to school. I have to say that boarding schools seem to be a unique experience. You are taken away of your family and out of your community. Your education is shaped by Sherborne Boarding School community.
I feel sad that his parents dropped him off at age 8 in an environment so cold and rigid. Why have children if you don’t want to spend time with them, helping them to grow?
I love the archetec and history of the school. The Nottingham Girls High School where i work was only founded in the 1860s.....the school next door to ours the Nottingham High School was founded in 1513 👓🎓
I totally stand for parents having the choice of a private or a state education. Still, I truly believe that sending children to a boarding school at the age of 8 is atrocious and should be illegal.
To be fair, a lot of kids attending such boarding facilities are sent there because their family moves around and the kids lack stability having to move schools all the time. There are quite a few kids I know that would have benefitted from such a school.
@@Kalani_Saiko It is abuse. There is a film about boarding at 8 on UA-cam and a comment from a psychologist. These children are developing attachment disorders.
I think boarding school is a great option for families that can afford it. The UK has a long tradition of it and knows how to do it well. I would have preferred boarding school as a teenager. 13-18 are years kids naturally need to start learning more independance and preparing for the world. Some kids given the chance will lean on their parents far too much for far too long and many are left in a state of arrested development well into their 30s or beyond. When I was a teenager my single mother was working 70 hour weeks, sometimes working out of town for a week at a time and only back on weekends. Outside of school I was alone at home (unless with friends) and it wasn't good for me. I decided to move across the country (Canada) at 15 and lived in my sisters in-laws house while going to high school. It wasn't boarding school but it made me more independent, responsible and respectful living away from home with an older couple I didnt know closely. I don't love the idea of sending young kids to boarding school but for some families especially in Military its the best choice.
That's great to hear that you survived and thrived. Unfortunately, I am one of those thirty-somethings in arrested development for the same reason. I also champion-at least for teen age kids-boarding schools for families that travel a lot for work-like the military or international business.
I like the idea of boarding school... kids surrounded by peers and and staff specialising in caring for kids... as long as communication with family is string and the holidays treasured. Wasn't there tribes somewhere where all kids are sent to one "house" ?
Our daughter spent a year at a Scottish boarding school and despite the tightly scheduled daily routine and the strict rules, it was the best school year of her life. After her Abitur here in Germany, she has now gone to Scotland to study and is absolutely happy with this decision. Unfortunately, there is no thriving private school system here, the state keeps this sector very small. And in the state schools, the few teachers who are suitable for the profession hardly manage to discipline the many badly behaved children in such a way that purposeful teaching can take place.
Oh, there are quite some private schools that are almost as pricey as the English counterparts and which claim to offer an equally excellent education. Having worked at one of them, I'd rather call it a well-developed marketing strategy. After all, there is only so much that you can do with money, and having the best equipment and activities does not necessarily make private schools superior in terms of teaching. However, there is one true benefit of sending your kid to a pricey school - it is getting to know the right kind of people, creating a network and being accepted into the upper crust of society. By the way, if you think the high tuition reflects in higher wages for the best teachers you can find, think again. Most salaries are either equal or lower than those of state school teachers.
I went to a boarding school and I liked some aspects but ultimately I felt it too strict and too limiting. There is no freedom to explore outside of classes or regimented activities (sports, "leisure" activities). There is not enough free time to just hang out and fool around with friends. And the tradition in Britain to send boys and girls to boarding school at 9 or 10 is crazy.
Sherborne is a good school, with notable alumni, but it certainly isn't among Britain's oldest schools. There are over 140 schools in Britain older than Sherborne, some almost three times Sherborn's 473 years of age.
I think it’s great idea like Harry Potter it would have expanded my world to show that my crappy home life wasn’t how other people lived and that there more choices for careers then was available in my area
Glenalmond college in Perthshire. Robbie Coltrane went there, it is in the Scottish Highlands, the chapel ceiling is painted in stars to resemble the night sky, the main hall is modelled on the dinner hall that was used to film Harry Potter, you weren't allowed to go into the woods beside the school because you would very likely fall down the riverbank break your neck or drown, one of the punishments was to go in and clear out all the cigarette ends and such which was considered to be a bit dangerous. The mancipal in post in the 90s recalled JK Rowling coming to visit...
I wish I had this opportunity. It would have helped me to become more independent soon which I couldn't do cause my family always cared for anything and protected me.
You are so blessed to have a family like that. You have your whole adult life to become independent but only have the safety of a warm family for short period of time.
Thank you for this. It certainly brings back memories of my schooling days in a boarding school in Switzerland. I went there from the age of 10 y.o to 17 y.o. So many beautiful memories. I absolutely love my time there.
I think it’s sad that you have kids and never see them. How can there be a strong relationship between kid and parents. Parents who don’t want to raise their children put them in boarding school.
More freedom? From what I’ve seen most boarding schools give less freedom. Kids have to study at specific times and are only allowed to go leave the boarding house on certain days and for a specific amount of time.
I wonder what thoughts and feelings would come into this boy's head if he was forced to have alone time instead of a constant ferret wheel of activities.
I personally have experience of attending private boy's day school in uk. If you get the similar curriculum i think it's better than boarding school. Spending time with family is a valuable thing for kids growing up. Yet i think state schools are the worst. It's a brutal reality that parent's wealth is descended to their children through education.
I went to a private school in Ealing called Manor House and it had etchings on a wooden plank of all the alumni it was quaint and we had Latin classes and wrote with an ink pen and in pot
Oh man that was scary stuff i don't know about anyone else but that was anxiety inducing for me it's worse than public schools, to actually be doing military training at a younger age to like that's just scary. I just don't feel it's necessary for schools like this to be a thing or to are things so intimidating and scary like we can learn things and great habits in ways that are not this and not boarding schools. There doesn't need to be so much pressure either because you can't actually make people do things they don't want to do especially when they're not up to it some days, to live in a boarding school like this where you're given no choice but to perform at higher levels uff! they don't show it but i bet many of them have huge anxiety and depression.

What type of parents send their children at the age of 8 years old to boarding school - a lazy and heartless parents that doesn't to be called mom and dad
I could understand sending your kid to private school for a better education but I couldn't understand sending them to boarding school. How could you not want your kid to live with you?
Well, parents should definitely spend time with them during the summer and holidays but I like boarding schools for kids who have parents that travel every few years, or even months, like some do that are in the military or in international business.
Why don't they include bankers in high school and or university in the syllabus and or education constructs? Obviously more military placements focused.
Why have children if you're going to send them away? It's odd to me. I'm sure it's normal for many families, but I couldn't imagine not having my boys at home, going to school together, teaching down the street from their school, watching them play sports, etc. I'm sure there is a point in sending their child there.
Depends on the circumstance, my dad moved around middle eastern oil companies my whole childhood, so boarding school was a chance to become grounded and stable somewhere, instead of spending a year or two somewhere and then moving.
@tiadavenport565 I agree. I homeschool, and I cannot imagine sending my daughter off to be raised by an institution & only seeing her on holidays. It must be devastating for children and parents alike, despite the positive spin of this news story.
Yes, there is a point: stability. I know that if my work forced me to move around a lot, like the military or international business, I would send my children-at least when they reach teen age-to a boarding school. There is still the summer months, the Christmas break, and spring break.
May I ask, since I am very intrigued by the subject, how do you home school, @@annai157? Do you and your husband split subjects between yourself? Do you ever get a tutor/private teacher to come in for a particular subject? Do you travel a lot, like, to say, historical sites, like the Liberty Bell in Pennsylvania, or Cape Canaveral in Florida? Are your kids in extracurricular activities? Like a church choir or a little league baseball team? Thanks!
What if child or teen doesn't want to go boarding school, how does parents deal with it?? Does children and teens communicate with their parents, siblings, and famy?? How about Holiday?
Lots more kids used to be at boarding school. Have you never read Narnia? He just said they have phones and stuff. It seems to me currently a fair number of the kids who still do boarding school are military. It’s meant to provide stability for families moving around. It is more costly than university.
This guy, and any of his mates who went to boarding school at 8 have a lifetime of therapy ahead of them. The only consolation is that he's so rich, at least he can afford it. If you've decided to have kids don't then farm them out to strange old men to raise them.

Robbie Coltrane went there, it is in the Scottish Highlands, the chapel ceiling is painted in stars to resemble the night sky, the main hall is modelled on the dinner hall that was used to film Harry Potter, you weren't allowed to go into the woods beside the school because you would very likely fall down the riverbank break your neck or drown, one of the punishments was to go in and clear out all the cigarette ends and such which was considered to be a bit dangerous. The mancipal in post in the 90s recalled JK Rowling coming to visit...
I wish I had this opportunity. It would have helped me to become more independent soon which I couldn't do cause my family always cared for anything and protected me.
You are so blessed to have a family like that. You have your whole adult life to become independent but only have the safety of a warm family for short period of time.
I expect school to look more luxurious
I wish my boarding school was this good
Emotional well-being class. Impressive
Do you think there should be more of this in schools? 🎓
@@dweuromaxx definitely yes. Mental health should be given importance as much as physical health
@@dweuromaxx yes, not everyone can adjust well in that environment.
Perhaps a necessity for a kid who has been institutionalized, and whose family has been ripped away from him from age 8. I feel sorry for the kid.
@@annai157 Right
Thank you for this. It certainly brings back memories of my schooling days in a boarding school in Switzerland. I went there from the age of 10 y.o to 17 y.o. So many beautiful memories. I absolutely love my time there.
Woahh... The schedule!
Is it just me or the boy at 2:25 looks like Neville
Boarding schools are brilliant educational establishments that unfortunately are very rare now in the U.K. the CCF should be in more schools as well
Shuben
My daughter’s friend went there and didn’t realise it was pronounced Sherborne until she went to school in nearby Dorchester
Ohh 😯😮! It's Max.
update: 4:43. He did in fact get his army scholarship, and will be going to sandhurst in the near future!
I think it’s sad that you have kids and never see them. How can there be a strong relationship between kid and parents. Parents who don’t want to raise their children put them in boarding school.
More freedom? From what I’ve seen most boarding schools give less freedom. Kids have to study at specific times and are only allowed to go leave the boarding house on certain days and for a specific amount of time.
We’re free to go in and out of the boarding house throughout the day, and don’t all schools across the world have to study at specific times?
Discipline creates more freedom than uncontrolled hippie lifestyle later in life.
@@saltymonke3682 what a statement!
...Like ANY good parent?
13-18 is a very good age to go to a boarding school.
Yes, before then, it is best to keep your kids with you and, if you travel much for work, just homeschool them.
Boarding schools are the worst…. I has been in one and i used to cry often
I wonder what thoughts and feelings would come into this boy's head if he was forced to have alone time instead of a constant ferret wheel of activities.
🎡 ...Do you mean ferris wheel?
I personally have experience of attending private boy's day school in uk. If you get the similar curriculum i think it's better than boarding school. Spending time with family is a valuable thing for kids growing up. Yet i think state schools are the worst. It's a brutal reality that parent's wealth is descended to their children through education.
530 pm - 6pm is not early for dinner.
boarding school has always looked fun to me.
a very well-behaved and honourable young man
Spent 10 years (7-17 )at an elite boarding school up in the Himalayas -if one has a loving family -I wouldn’t recommend it - otherwise it’s okay
Since 8?
What use is being rich if the love of a family is not a close one.
Each to their own.
*to each their own

Ah I had no military training in highschool, not even in university.
I went to a private school in Ealing called Manor House and it had etchings on a wooden plank of all the alumni it was quaint and we had Latin classes and wrote with an ink pen and in pot
Oh man that was scary stuff i don't know about anyone else but that was anxiety inducing for me it's worse than public schools, to actually be doing military training at a younger age to like that's just scary. I just don't feel it's necessary for schools like this to be a thing or to are things so intimidating and scary like we can learn things and great habits in ways that are not this and not boarding schools.
There doesn't need to be so much pressure either because you can't actually make people do things they don't want to do especially when they're not up to it some days, to live in a boarding school like this where you're given no choice but to perform at higher levels uff! they don't show it but i bet many of them have huge anxiety and depression.
I didn't know that Mufasa's younger brother Scar went to Sherbone!
Harry Potter looks at this kid and wishes he was like him.
Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also highly engaging thumbnails which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
I live in the US and I kinda want to go
Thank you!
Been in boarding school since he was eight? Why so long? He spends most of the year without his family. It’s an interesting boarding school .
Is that military training some of the boys are doing like our ROTC or JROTC in the US?
Yes, it's CCF (Combined Cadet Force)
Real-life Ronald Weasley is more like it.
What type of parents send their children at the age of 8 years old to boarding school - a lazy and heartless parents that doesn't to be called mom and dad
I could understand sending your kid to private school for a better education but I couldn't understand sending them to boarding school. How could you not want your kid to live with you?
I would have loved to work there 😃
Love this tradition ❤
I have been into boarding school for 15 years of my life, it build me differently for life.
Hey, my name is Max too.
SMACK ME MATE LATE ME INFORM BBC NEWS!!!!!!
When you say British cuisine.. What is that exactly ? :D
There was nothing like Harry Potter besides the exterior of the school building, itself.
Did you not see real life Nearly-Headless Nick?
@@dweuromaxx No I did not! Where is it?
@@dweuromaxx Please😭
That would be enough for me
Gotta bored from glassy buildings .
@@dweuromaxx LoL... DW Euromax knows jokes huh?
I think campus life is suitable only after high school during graduation. The period of school life should be spent with parents
Well, parents should definitely spend time with them during the summer and holidays but I like boarding schools for kids who have parents that travel every few years, or even months, like some do that are in the military or in international business.
I went to a boarding school as well.
Great school
How do they access teacher and or lecturer quality after gcse for teacher placements and retention?
Bruh these replies by the uploaded are wild, ain't this supposed to be a serious channel?
Hi prospecops, we are indeed a 'serious' channel, but we also like to chat with our viewers :)

Feel so bad for the kids..❤
Isn't Max Windham English student?
wait this guy was the year below me in cothill that's hilarious
Pozdrawiam z klasą oglądamy na angielskim very good video
Why don't they include bankers in high school and or university in the syllabus and or education constructs? Obviously more military placements focused.
Why have children if you're going to send them away? It's odd to me. I'm sure it's normal for many families, but I couldn't imagine not having my boys at home, going to school together, teaching down the street from their school, watching them play sports, etc. I'm sure there is a point in sending their child there.
Depends on the circumstance, my dad moved around middle eastern oil companies my whole childhood, so boarding school was a chance to become grounded and stable somewhere, instead of spending a year or two somewhere and then moving.
@tiadavenport565 I agree. I homeschool, and I cannot imagine sending my daughter off to be raised by an institution & only seeing her on holidays. It must be devastating for children and parents alike, despite the positive spin of this news story.
Yes, there is a point: stability.
I know that if my work forced me to move around a lot, like the military or international business, I would send my children-at least when they reach teen age-to a boarding school.
There is still the summer months, the Christmas break, and spring break.
May I ask, since I am very intrigued by the subject, how do you home school, @@annai157?
Do you and your husband split subjects between yourself? Do you ever get a tutor/private teacher to come in for a particular subject?
Do you travel a lot, like, to say, historical sites, like the Liberty Bell in Pennsylvania, or Cape Canaveral in Florida?
Are your kids in extracurricular activities? Like a church choir or a little league baseball team?
Thanks!
Jon Pertwee and John Le Mesurierer went to Sherbourne too
What if child or teen doesn't want to go boarding school, how does parents deal with it?? Does children and teens communicate with their parents, siblings, and famy?? How about Holiday?
Lots more kids used to be at boarding school. Have you never read Narnia? He just said they have phones and stuff. It seems to me currently a fair number of the kids who still do boarding school are military. It’s meant to provide stability for families moving around. It is more costly than university.
Then depending on how kind your parents are you don't have to go
We have phones so we can call parents whenever we need to during the day
Holidays we have half-term and normal holidays and specific weekends throughout the term
The more you pay the longer the holidays. I’m certain no one has to be there is they hate it .
At 8 is crazy, at least 13 ish
This guy, and any of his mates who went to boarding school at 8 have a lifetime of therapy ahead of them. The only consolation is that he's so rich, at least he can afford it. If you've decided to have kids don't then farm them out to strange old men to raise them.
I don’t see quidditch
wait, isn't this from my Pinterest feed?
