Description

Horsham and Christ’s Hospital School

Christ’s Hospital School is located near Horsham, close to Gatwick Airport just to the south-west of London. The village has its own railway station with frequent trains to London, south coast towns and a number of places of historical and cultural interest.

The local town of Horsham has some great shopping, and is the perfect size for our students to explore and have some free time.

Our course takes place in one of the most impressive private schools in the United Kingdom. Set in large beautiful grounds, Christ’s Hospital School has a lot to offer visiting students including tremendous facilities for learning, sports and activities.

The school’s facilities include a grand Victorian dining room that houses the largest painting in Europe; and a theatre built to resemble Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. Christ’s Hospital also boasts superb modern facilities including modern classrooms with smartboards, a large indoor sports complex, Astroturf and tennis courts.

These wonderful facilities, the traditional and the modern, are all set within a huge 500-hectare estate.

Accommodation

Most of the accommodation is in comfortable study bedrooms in one of eight residential houses set on their own private avenue either side of the main school quadrangle. Each one has large common rooms and relaxation rooms on the ground floor for students relax and spend time when they are not in English classes or doing activities.

Each house has its own entrance with digital security code on the front door. Most of the rooms are twins or singles, but there are also some triples and quads. Bathroom facilities are shared.

One of the houses is made up solely of single rooms, each with their own wash basin. They are divided into “pods” – 5 or 6 bedrooms on a corridor sharing a small kitchen and bathroom facilities.

This house also has its own entrance with a digital security code on the front door as well as a large common room for students to relax in.

Catering

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are taken in the school dining hall. The excellent menus include vegetarian meals as well as a selection of hot and cold dishes together with a salad bar. A full English breakfast is served twice weekly with continental breakfast on the other days.
