About Boarding
Boarding offers an immersive learning experience when surrounded 24/7 by peers and teachers who are dedicated to education and cultivates independence when living away from home. The boarding environment offers opportunities for students to take more responsibility for their own time, actions and decisions. Managing a busy weekly timetable with a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, arts, clubs, and leadership opportunities encourages excellent time management.
During your search for the right boarding school, you’ll come across dedicated pastoral and teaching staff who will nurture and encourage boarders to reach their full potential. Student wellbeing is at the heart of boarding and there are strong support systems in place to provide guidance, support and mentorship to students to help them navigate academic and personal challenges.
There’s also a huge amount of fun to be had in boarding and lifelong friendships to be made, often amongst student from diverse and multi-cultural backgrounds. You’ll discover tight-knit communities in boarding and a camaraderie between houses like no other.
The Guide and the website is a celebration of boarding as much as it is a useful guide in steering your search.
