Learn More →Tudor Hall School Overview
Tudor Hall School is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18, set in 46 acres at Wykham Park near Banbury in north Oxfordshire, about 25 minutes from Oxford. Founded in 1850 by the Reverend T W Todd and his wife, it has a Church of England foundation and is part of Mill Hill Education Group, a group of independent schools.
Girls take GCSEs and IGCSEs, then choose from 29 A Level and equivalent courses in the Sixth Form, with the Extended Project Qualification as an option. A one-year Pre A Level Programme prepares international students without GCSEs for Sixth Form study.
Boarding at Tudor Hall School
More than 200 of the school's roughly 300 pupils board, most of them full time, and around 15 per cent of boarders come from overseas, from countries including France, Brazil, Spain, Japan and Hong Kong. Years 7 and 8 can choose full, weekly or occasional boarding, and from Year 9 the options are full or partial boarding. Girls may stay in school over exeat weekends for an additional charge.
Boarding Houses and Accommodation
Boarding is organised by year group, so each girl lives with her whole year as it moves up the school. Years 7 and 8 have their own area of the main Manor House, with a garden and play space, Years 10 and 11 each have their own house, and the Sixth Form live in Inglis and Ashtons, a purpose-built house. Each house has a Housemistress, a Deputy Housemistress and boarding support staff.
Boarding Life
From Year 9 a full weekend activity programme is central to boarding, with closed weekends at the start and end of each term, and younger girls can join optional Saturday morning enrichment. Evenings in the houses include film nights, crafts and baking, and facilities include a sports hall, gym, glass-roofed outdoor pool and hockey and lacrosse pitches.
Academic and Pastoral Support
Learning support teachers write a Pupil Passport with each girl who needs extra help, and the Good Schools Guide records provision for specific learning difficulties and autism. Registered nurses staff the Health Centre around the clock, counsellors accept self-referrals and a resident chaplain offers a confidential listening service.
International boarders at Tudor Hall School are generally expected to have a UK guardian. British Guardianship provides AEGIS accredited boarding school guardianship for international students at UK boarding schools.
Facilities & Activities at Tudor Hall School

Information for International Students and Parents
Tudor Hall School usually admits international boarders in Year 7, with Year 9 a common second entry point, places in Years 8 and 10 when available, and Sixth Form entry at Year 12. The Pre A Level Programme for students aged 15 or 16 without GCSEs has a two-term option starting in January. Most students join in September. British Guardianship supports international families through every stage of the application with our boarding school admissions service.
English Language Requirements
Tudor Hall does not publish minimum English levels by year of entry. English is assessed as part of the application, and British Guardianship confirms the level required for each year of entry during placement.
Before arrival, new students whose first language is not English discuss their language needs online with the EAL Co-ordinator, and individual or small-group EAL lessons can then be timetabled. The Pre A Level Programme includes English tuition.
Child Student Visa
Students coming to the UK from overseas will usually need a Child Student visa. Tudor Hall School is a licensed Child Student sponsor on the UKVI register, while the visa application itself is submitted by parents. Our Child Student visa guide explains the requirements and process, and families holding a British National (Overseas) visa can contact us for guidance on the BN(O) route.
UK Guardian Requirement
UK boarding schools generally require international boarders under 18 to have a UK guardian, and British Guardianship confirms each school's specific requirements as part of placement. At Tudor Hall, boarders may spend exeat weekends with family, friends or their guardian.

Short-Term Stays and Exchange Placements
Alongside term-long places in some year groups, Tudor Hall runs a residential Immersion Programme in June for girls aged 11 to 17. Students stay for one to three weeks, board alongside full-time pupils, have two EAL lessons a week and join evening activities and weekend trips. Families considering a shorter placement can explore our Student Exchange Programme and short stay guardianship.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK boarding schools generally require international students under 18 to have a UK-based guardian, and British Guardianship confirms Tudor Hall School's specific requirements as part of your application. The guardian acts on behalf of parents in the UK, is the school's point of contact in an emergency and looks after the student whenever they cannot be at school. We provide this as an AEGIS accredited boarding school guardianship service.
Whenever your child cannot stay at Tudor Hall School, for example during half terms, exeats or holidays when boarding houses close, they stay with one of our vetted host families. Every host family is visited in their home, provides professional and personal references and holds an Enhanced DBS check for all household members aged 16 and over. British Guardianship remains your child's educational guardian throughout every stay.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Tudor Hall School is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Boarding school guardianship is charged per term and starts from £350, with host family stays, travel arrangements and other services added as your child needs them. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to the school to respond quickly in an emergency; many boarding schools set a maximum travel time. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Tudor Hall School may also ask for the guardian's details before the start of term and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
Yes. Our boarding school admissions service supports international families through the application to Tudor Hall School, from choosing the right year of entry through to an offer and enrolment, with Child Student visa guidance and guardianship arranged alongside.
