Boarding

It can be very daunting to leave a home, which is perhaps on the other side of the world, and to go to a boarding school. However, our warm welcome, family based boarding houses and supportive staffing, mean that very soon, they feel integrated into a new and vibrant community. The international mix and comfortable accommodation make for a stimulating and hugely enjoyable boarding experience.

Our priority is to ensure that our pupils are happy and busy, and are able to fulfil their potential academically and socially. Strong pastoral care, high quality teaching and a great emphasis on extra-curricular activity make this a very special community in which to live and learn. A wide range of evening and weekend activities are provided for boarders, along with additional events and fun day trips.

We offer full time and weekly boarding options, and we aim to provide a ‘home-from-home’ for our boarding pupils, both in terms of comfort and atmosphere. In recent years, a substantial programme of investment has created exceptional boarding facilities, with all rooms en-suite.
