Boarding

Boarders enjoy homely bedrooms in pleasantly decorated and furnished rooms and are looked after by an experienced team of caring matrons and boarding staff. Each year group in the prep school has its own common room, where they base themselves in their free time in the evenings and weekends and which day children may share during the day. Boarders' parents are encouraged to visit their children regularly, to watch concerts, plays, matches or to attend church and stay for coffee on Sundays. The children all have easy access to their own private email and to telephones.

Boarding is provided for any children in the prep school. Many choose to start as day pupils and transfer to boarding once they have settled in. A range of day and boarding options is available to all pupils. There is the opportunity to spend one or two nights in school as a flexi-boarder. Weekly boarding enables fuller involvement in evening activities; weekly boarders may go home on Saturday afternoons and return on Monday mornings or Sunday nights. Full boarders can enjoy the full range of activities offered throughout the weekend and often have the chance to go out for exciting expeditions, for a full day or overnight.
