Family Friendly Boarding

Boarding to dovetail with parents lifestyles 

The College has a strong tradition of boarding and takes pride in providing an excellent environment in its boarding houses. Pupils have plenty of time to build enduring friendships and participate in a wide range of activities. All pupils benefit from the experienced and dedicated staff who engage with them beyond the classroom, offering a well-rounded education.

We understand that modern family life sometimes requires flexibility in boarding. That’s why we offer flexibility in our timetable and our approach to boarding is designed to suit every family’s lifestyle.

Although we have a full boarding programme on weekends— including a busy schedule of optional enrichment sessions, co-curricular activities, sports fixtures and trips for full boarders— there are no compulsory academic lessons on Saturdays or Sundays. This ensures that boarders have plenty to keep them occupied while also enjoying time at home without disrupting their studies.

In addition to flexible weekends, there are formal exeats during which boarders return home on Friday evening and do not need to return to the College until Sunday.
