School location

Blundell´s Boarding School in Tiverton
Improve your language skills while being surrounded by international students
Tiverton is the largest town in mid Devon and has a small but busy shopping centre. The imposing structure of the parish church dedicated to St Peter dates from the 15th century and reflects the prosperity brought to the town by the wool trade. It has about 18,000 inhabitants. It is best known for John Heathcoat, who set up his textile mill there in the 19th century with just a few woollen frames; business flourished and he built nearby Knighthayes Court as his manor house - now National Trust and open to visitors. Tiverton Castle is in the town centre. Our Campus is around 100-acres in the Devon hills, our Students sleep, live, attend lessons and participate in fun activities on the Blundell´s Campus. This is a place where children thrive, and where they become ready to contribute to a world desperately in need of thoughtful, courageous, and compassionate leaders. This is a place where they will learn about themselves, where they have the opportunity to practise and rehearse the skills that they will need to live fulfilling lives, both now and in the future. Tiverton is also close to the beautiful Devon coast and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Tiverton is the perfect location for a memorable experience.
