Looked-after children: Children want to go to boarding school

Children and young people say that boarding school placements can be good for them if they need to live away from home.

The finding is from a report by Roger Morgan, the Commission for SocialCare Inspection's children's rights director. He said: "The Governmentis looking at whether boarding schools should be a possible placementfor children who need to live away from home. I wanted to find out whatyoung people already there thought. For them, it was a good placement,provided it had been properly chosen for the individual. One youngperson summed up living in a boarding school by saying it was a homelyatmosphere with extra learning."
