Why choose boarding?

Boarding won’t be the right choice for everyone – but it could be perfect for your family!

  • Home from home – each house has a strong, close-knit family atmosphere and boarders enthusiastically join in a huge range of special boarders’ events and activities.
  • Time to develop passions outside the classroom – play a full part in clubs, teams, sports and activities without worrying about long, late commutes.
  • Academic and emotional support – whether it’s help with homework from our boarding staff or just someone to talk to, our comprehensive network of support ensures every girl feels looked after and relaxed.
  • Strong friendships – form special bonds in-house and make wider friendships across year groups.
  • Flexible – choose from full, weekly, half-weekly or occasional boarding options.

I think boarding does help prepare you for going to university because part of that is about living with people you don’t really know. Coming here and boarding is definitely a boost to helping me adapt to university later on.
