News from the Boarding House

It has been lovely to see the pupils involved in their clubs this week. I have been lucky enough to visit the choir in action as well as the early birds at running club!
Flexi-boarding offers pupils the best of both worlds: the joy and structure of boarding life with the comfort of staying closely connected to home. Whether it’s one night a week or a few evenings during busy periods, flexi-boarding provides a safe and supportive environment filled with evening activities, supervised study, and time with friends.
It’s a brilliant way to build independence, ease into boarding, and make the most of school life – perfect for busy family schedules.

Tails from the boarding house:


Thursday night smelled like heaven. I followed the scent to the kitchen and there was flour flying, chocolate melting, the boarders in full bake-off mode.
I lingered near the oven (expert move) but all the boarders beat me to the cookies! Next time I’ll go straight for the mixing bowl!!
