Each home hosts movie nights and cookery classes and there are lots of friendly competitions in all kinds of sports such as Football, Netball, Rounders and Rugby.

One of the most important things is the supervised and supported prep time. Students have access to a quiet study environment. They can ask for and receive support and advice. We aim to create a nurturing atmosphere where all students can achieve their greatest potential. It goes without saying that we provide a home where sleep, diet and exercise are monitored and children are encouraged to develop healthy habits.

Our youngest boarders (usually Year 5 & 6) are supported within the boarding homes with special programmes, access to Junior School teachers and mentoring from older students who become big brothers and sisters.
