Boarding
Overview
We are keen advocates of the boarding experience. The confidence and all-round development that accrues from it are well proven. We offer full boarding (7 days a week) and there is the option of weekly boarding for children in Form V (year 4).
Our care of the boarders is based on the many residential staff who live on site, including the headmaster and his wife and family, the housemaster and his wife and family, the deputy head, the residential matrons and gap students. Newly refurbished accommodation on the top floor of the school ('uppers') has been created for the new boarding girls for the next 2 years until the new girls' boarding house is completed. Pupils have every opportunity to keep in touch with home. There are two card phones and all the children have their own e-mail accounts; once a week each boarder writes a letter home.
