Our school is a 15-minute walk to the beach and around 25 minutes to the town centre of Bournemouth. We have two spaces on one site, a 4-classroom building with modern rooms and equipment, mainly used for our year-round school, and a large historic building with another 8 large classrooms and break-out rooms for our off-season and summer groups. Established in 2003, we are accredited by the British Council and a member of English UK. It is an open city campus with easy access to the beach & city centre. On top of this, we have some facilities for indoor activities, e.g. dance workshops, arts & crafts or movie sessions. Our school is accessible for disabled students (there is access to wheelchairs).
One of England's most famous student towns and the sunniest resort. The school is located within walking distance of the town centre.
The two IP schools are a 7-minute walk from each other and a 15-minute walk from Bournemouth Pier and the town centre near Landsdowne. It is an open, urban campus with accessible beach and town centre access. The school also has an indoor sports hall for dance lessons, film screenings and creative workshops.

Why Bournemouth?
There are so many reasons to travel to Bournemouth! We picked the best ones for you:
- Bournemouth is a very young town: before 1810, the area was a deserted heathland, the only visitors of which were fishermen and smugglers.
- It is a very tourist place, counting 6.88m visitors per year for 187 503 inhabitants
- Bournemouth beaches reach over 7 miles, from adjacent Christchurch to Sandbanks, Poole.
- The coastline just west of Bournemouth, the Jurassic Coast, is England’s first and only natural World Heritage Site and it’s the only place where you can explore 185 million years of our history.
- Bournemouth was the first place in the UK to have purpose-built beach huts, built in 1909 and marked with a blue plaque near the east of Bournemouth Pier
- Literary Lover? You’ll adore this fact: Bournemouth has been home to some pivotal writers of our time, such as JRR Tolkien, Enid Blyton and Mary Shelley. Mary Shelley herself is buried in Bournemouth with her husband’s heart.
- After Liverpool and London, Bournemouth is the UK town where The Beetles played the most concerts – there must have been something they liked down here, like the lovely town perhaps?
