Culford School

Combined co-education school, Suffolk

Culford is an independent boarding and day school for 800 boys and girls aged 1 to 18 years, set in 480 acres of Suffolk parkland. Located near the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, Culford is close to Cambridge (30 min), Stansted (1 hr); and London, Gatwick & Heathrow airports (2 hrs).

Combining the warmth and individual attention of a small community with the wider educational opportunities of a larger school, our aim is to provide an education that is challenging, enriching, and fun and prepares pupils to be ready for life. High quality and enthusiastic teaching is supported by superb academic and sporting facilities including a new library, studio theatre, 2 dance studios, an indoor and outdoor Sports & Tennis centre with a 25m pool, an indoor golf TRACKMAN® swing analysis suite, and a new fitness room. Sports and activities are an integral part of our offerings, and academic excellence is supported by individualised attention and encouragement. Individual performance programmes in football, tennis, golf and swimming allow athletes to focus on both sport and education. Our Football Academy is proud to be in partnership with the premiership league team Tottenham Hotspur and to offer pupils a comprehensive football experience.

Academic strengths include maths and the sciences, which run enrichment activities in robotics, engineering and medicine. Our music, visual and performing arts programmes provide rich opportunities to perform and encourage pupils to develop their specific areas of interest.
