Earlscliffe is a private sixth form college during the academic year and offers an intimate, highly-personalised environment. It was built in 1870 and recently underwent complete renovation and refurbishment.
It is located in the desirable West End of Folkestone, within walking distance of the elegant Leas promenade, the high-speed, direct train to London St Pancras and the town centre’s shops.
Earlscliffe does not use host families. All students live in our own, supervised residences which are located within a few minutes’ walk of both the main building and the school house classrooms. All our buildings were originally built between 1870 and 1910, with four being late Victorian in style and the other three Edwardian. All have recently been refurbished.
Girls and boys live in separate, supervised accommodation. Most rooms are spacious twin or triple rooms and all have en-suite WC and shower. A very small number of single rooms are available. All rooms have Wi-Fi. The accommodation is attractive: modern, light rooms within historic façades. Earlscliffe is an ‘in-town’ campus of buildings meaning that students can easily walk between classes, meals, accommodation and activities.
