Pastoral Care in Boarding

Individual care and attention for every boarder

Our boarding house is cosy, welcoming, and full of care. Whether a child boards full-time, weekly, or flexibly, they are seen as individuals. Houseparents, tutors and staff notice the small changes, celebrate successes, and step in with support when needed. This daily attentiveness builds a strong foundation of trust and reassurance.

A community that feels like family

Boarding at Holmewood is about belonging. Shared routines, traditions, and laughter create a steady rhythm where children feel part of something bigger. Many boarders tell us that the boarding house is where they’ve grown the most — gaining independence while knowing they’re never alone.

Wellbeing support that grows with each child

Pastoral care at Holmewood extends beyond the boarding house. Our wellbeing provision includes counselling, play therapy, therapy dogs, and structured mentoring sessions with staff. This holistic approach ensures pupils have the emotional support and practical guidance they need, whether facing an academic challenge or the ups and downs of growing up.
