Campbell College

Our commitment
Is to welcome, challenge and inspire every pupil to be the very best they can
be, to push themselves and to stand tall as contributors to a global society.
Academic achievements are important and we expect our pupils to strive
for high grades; it is our duty to harness the potential in every pupil whether
it is academic, creative, physical or otherwise. We want our boys to leave
with an assured set of values; we want them to believe they can truly make
a difference in society and to leave with things that are going to matter to
them for the rest of their lives.

Why Campbell College?
From the moment you drive through the gates and glimpse the stunning
surrounds you will see that this is no ordinary school. It has been described as
‘boy heaven’ by a number of parents and, with nearly 100 acres of beautiful
grounds and over 125 years of history, Campbell College is the perfect setting
for boys to be inspired, both at work and at play.

Achieving personal bests
Academic success is vital and the results over recent years prove that,
at every level, Campbell College is delivering. In the top 11% of ‘Value
Added Schools’ in the UK, our philosophy is that each pupil has the right
to be pushed and our teaching and pastoral system allows this to happen.
Annually the School boasts a higher than average placement of pupils into
key areas of economic growth such as engineering, business & finance, law
and the creative arts across a number of universities including Russell Group
institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and Edinburgh. We are also
proud of the fact that we enjoy higher than average acceptance rates across
all university applications, especially for Medicine.

More to life
School should be about more than just academic results. What our boys
learn outside the classroom is very important in preparing them for life
beyond School. The sporting facilities are numerous; 11 rugby pitches, five
cricket pitches, two AstroTurf hockey pitches, four tennis courts, squash
court, running track, indoor shooting range, fully equipped strength and
conditioning suite and three sports halls..

The School’s sporting achievements include Olympians, Commonwealth
Games medal winners and the list goes on. A buzzing art department, a 120-
seat theatre and active drama and music departments allow the talents of our
budding artists, musicians and actors to flourish. The College’s Combined Cadet
Force, one of the largest in the UK, boasts over 350 cadets over three sections.
In 2015 an Upper Sixth student was awarded the prestigious Sir John Thomson
Memorial Sword for the top RAF Cadet from the whole of the UK.

A home from home
We have been welcoming boarders from all over the world for over 100 years,
and we are only a one-hour flight from London and other regional airports. It is
an integral part of the school and shapes the overall sense of community that
is apparent through the campus. When it comes to pastoral care we believe in
going the extra mile to ensure our boys remain happy, healthy and safe.

“Because of the guidance, support, discipline, humour,
kindness, respect and regard of the boarding team, our
son gained confidence in himself; gaining study habits
and life skills which have made him successful and a very
fine young man of whom we are very proud and, more
importantly, who is proud of himself.”
