Our boarding houses make the perfect home for our summer pupils. The houses are located within the school grounds and are a short walk from the main school building. They have excellent facilities including well equipped kitchens, study rooms with computers and attractive common rooms with satellite TV. Wi-fi is available throughout the houses.

Food Just like home, meal times provide a time for us to come together. Each main meal is served in the senior school dining hall and provides pupils with the time to socialise with their peers. Our menus are healthy and nutritional as well as tasty with all food freshly prepared on the premises by our professional catering team.

Fun Our fun activities programme is recognised as one of the best – it was recently awarded a best initiative accolade by the Times newspaper.
