Boarding School Facilities
As a fully boarding school, the first concern is to provide students with a safe, structured, caring and happy community, a home from home. Students live in one of five country houses or their lodges, some of which are on the campus and some nearby. All of the working day is spent on campus and you are transported back to your House after supper every evening by the House staff.
You will have a study bedroom which is normally shared with one other student, although there are some singles for second year students. There are also kitchen facilities in every house for toast, pot noodles, tea and coffee etc, games rooms and communal TV rooms. You may also bring your own TV, video or DVD. All houses have internet access and a wireless LAN.
