Comfortable and Private Accommodation
We recognise that our older pupils need more private space in which to live and work. Senior pupils are initially housed in 3 and 4 bed dormitories, progressing to double or single rooms as they advance through the school. All rooms are en-suite, providing comfort and privacy. Ample secure storage ensures that personal belongings are kept safe. Each house is equipped with kitchens and tuck shops, allowing pupils to prepare snacks between meals, after sports matches, and during weekends.
Dedicated Pastoral Support
Each boarding house is managed by House Parents and their families, who reside within the accommodation, along with a Resident Tutor. Staff members are available at all times to provide support and guidance. Our on-site Medical Centre, staffed by qualified nursing personnel, offers comprehensive medical care throughout term time, ensuring the health and wellbeing of all pupils.
Connectivity and Communication
All pupils have access to the College IT network and wireless internet (with appropriate controls), enabling them to keep in touch with family and friends back home.
