Hi! I'am looking for a boarding school for my 16-years old son, who likes to play basketball. Does anybody know where is such kind of boarding school or has experience?
Thanks in advance!

Millfield is sports central, so I’d start there

St Paul’s is worth a look.

I have a niece at Millfield and can confirm that it's very sporty.

Where are you based? What level is he? Do you want a good, sporty school that includes basketball, or a basketball academy for talented players who want to go further?

Leeds. Son's level is not so high, he just like to play basketball. I think sporty school that includes basketball would be good.

Unsure if you are still looking, Wycliffe College in Stroud have a strong basketball academy and pathway from prep through to sixth form

Basketball at Wycliffe

Oundle School, Stowe, Uppingham also fit your criteria. I'd be a bit more specific about his other interests and academic fit, posters are helpful on here usually and can give you a more refined list based off those. Have a good day

Wycliffe College has an amazing basket ball programme check it out!!
