young students in the boarding house

Prep Boarding (7 to 11)

Kirby House welcomes boarders from 7 to 13 years old into its modern, spacious dormitories. The Junior Housemother looks after the youngest members of the boarding house, our boys and girls aged 7 to 11 years old.

We provide a home from home for our boarders, both in terms of comfort and atmosphere. Children thrive in the safe, supportive and calm environment.

We are proud to say that most visiting families comment that our boarding facilities are the finest they have ever seen! In recent years, we have invested in our boarding facilities and all rooms are en-suite. Pupils are encouraged to bring their own bedding from home, to help them feel more at ease.

We offer a wide range of evening and weekend activities as well as additional events and fun day trips over the weekend. We have a list of the activities below on this page:

Whilst primarily a full boarding school, we also offer weekly and flexi-boarding options for younger children.
