About Earlscliffe College

Earlscliffe College is a co-educational independent sixth form college in Folkestone, Kent, founded in 2012 and part of the Dukes Education group. It is one of the few British boarding schools built specifically for international students aged 15 to 19. The student body numbers around 110, drawn from more than 30 nationalities. As a UNESCO-associated school, it sits at an unusual intersection of British academic tradition and international outlook. The Eurotunnel terminal is nearby, and a 54-minute direct train to London makes it genuinely accessible for families arriving from continental Europe, the Middle East, and further afield. Fees are available on request, with a baseline figure of £54,000 (2025/26).

Academic Life

The core qualification at Earlscliffe is the A-level, delivered in small groups averaging eight students per class. Weekly TRaC™ sessions — the college’s own structured testing and progress-tracking system — run alongside teaching to catch gaps early and maintain momentum toward university entry. In 2025, the college recorded 108 A-level entries.

Alongside A-levels, Earlscliffe offers a University Foundation Year accredited by NCFE, with pathways in STEM, Business and Economics, Humanities, and Creative Arts. Students on this route complete coursework, projects, and final exams, and can add an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or IELTS preparation. Other programmes include the International Transition Year (ITY) for students entering British education for the first time, a Pre A-level course, a Diploma in Business and Management, a Pearson Extended Certificate in Sport, and Academic Integration Short Courses. Not every international student arrives at the same academic stage. The timetable is structured to reflect that.

Sixth form

University preparation runs throughout the sixth form curriculum. Oxbridge-style seminars, UCAS application support, and SAT preparation are embedded into the programme, with staff guiding students toward UK Russell Group universities, Oxbridge, and well-regarded US colleges.

Boarding & Pastoral Life

Earlscliffe offers both boarding and day places. With around 110 students in total, boarding life is small-scale by UK standards — closer to a house share than a traditional boarding school house system. Pastoral oversight is built into the academic week, with TRaC™ progress data giving tutors a regular read on each student’s trajectory. Pastoral staff are experienced in supporting students managing a new language, a new country, and university preparation at the same time.

Beyond the Classroom

The most distinctive co-curricular offering is the official Football Development Programme, run in partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. This is a structured arrangement, not simply a branded activity. Sport is also represented through the Pearson Extended Certificate in Sport, which gives students a recognised academic qualification alongside practical training. Oxbridge-style seminars, leadership development sessions, and academic internships extend learning beyond timetabled classes. With more than 30 nationalities in a group of 110, informal cross-cultural exchange is part of the daily texture of life at Earlscliffe.

Campus & Setting

The college is based in Folkestone, a coastal town in Kent on the English Channel. The Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal is nearby, and Ashford International station provides onward Eurostar connections. The campus is compact, consistent with the college’s deliberately small-scale model. As part of Dukes Education, the college draws on group-level resource and oversight while retaining its own specialist identity.

Getting There

Folkestone sits in Kent, approximately 70 miles from London. A direct train takes 54 minutes. The Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone and Ashford International station — with direct Eurostar services — make the college reachable from Paris, Brussels, and across continental Europe. Gatwick and Heathrow airports are both accessible from central London.
