LITTLEWOOD BOARDING HOUSE
Firmamentum Ludi - the Backbone of the School.
There can be many reasons why boys and their parents may decide that they would like a boarding option when moving to high school. • It offers the special structure, camaraderie and spirit provided only by communal living in a well-run institution • It opens wider options, as one is not limited to a choice of schools within daily commuting distance • It teaches young men to live together unselfishly and with tolerance • Lifetime friendships are formed • Independence is developed • Young men learn to work in a team • Optimum usage is made of school facilities • Boarders become true all-rounders
• Time spent travelling to and from school can be spent more productively. The Hostel is under the personal supervision of a senior member of staff and his wife who are specialists in their field. They are assisted by eight resident masters and student masters, and a professional team of caterers and housekeepers. Littlewood supports the philosophy of boarders returning home over weekends to maintain contact with families and their communities. No boarder, unless termly (or unable to return to a family member or guardian), is allowed to stay in over a weekend after normal school activities have ended. In the event of the student being a termly boarder, every effort must be made to allow him to visit family over weekends.
