UK Boarding Schools with Cricket for Families in Islamabad

Islamabad and Rawalpindi families often already have UK links. We use that to your advantage — guardianship, half-term plans and school visits are easier to organise when family is nearby.

Fees in local currency

Boarding runs £30,000–£50,000 a year, roughly PKR 10.5 million to PKR 17.5 million at an indicative PKR 350 to the pound, before flights and extras.

Travel from Islamabad

Islamabad (ISB) has direct London services of around eight hours.

Cricket in Islamabad

Cricket around the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and the region's academies offers a solid competitive record for a UK application.

Schooling and entry points

Cambridge O Level pupils typically move at 13+ or 16+; we map your child's current year precisely to the UK year group.

Questions families in Islamabad ask

How much do UK boarding schools cost for families in Islamabad?

Boarding runs £30,000–£50,000 a year, roughly PKR 10.5 million to PKR 17.5 million at an indicative PKR 350 to the pound, before flights and extras.

Can a cricketer from Islamabad win a UK school scholarship?

Yes — many UK independent schools award cricket, academic, music or all-rounder scholarships, usually as a percentage of fees rather than the whole amount. Assessment is normally by video, coach references and a performance record, followed by an online interview. We tell you which of your shortlisted schools genuinely award them to international pupils.

When should a family in Islamabad start the application?

Plan 12 to 18 months ahead of the intended entry point. Most UK schools want registration by the autumn before entry, run assessments and scholarship trials between November and February, and confirm awards in the spring, leaving time for the Child Student visa and guardianship.
