The Royal Alexandra and Albert
School is primarily a boarding school with over
400 pupils boarding at the school, out of a total
of 760 pupils. Set in 260 acres of glorious parkland,
the boarding school is an ideal location for young
people to live and learn.
Boarding
houses
There are seven senior boarding houses, one junior
boarding house and one sixth form boarding house
at the School. The houses are mostly purpose-built
and provide a secure and welcoming place to live,
work and play.
Day boarders
Whilst this is a boarding school, there are also
'day boarders' who stay for an extended day, often
from before breakfast until after the evening
meal. They spend their non-school time in the
same houses as the boarding pupils so there is
no 'them and us' between the two groups of children.
Activities
Both boarders and day-boarders benefit from the
many activities that are available at a boarding
school. The school has its own swimming pool and
riding stables which many pupils take full advantage
of after the formal school day has ended. They
can also take part in many other activities including
rugby, football, Scouts, dance, fishing, kayaking
or the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme, to name
but a few.
As a boarding school, the Royal
Alexandra and Albert School has a lot going for
it. Not many boarding schools can boast such a
beautiful location, steeped in history, which
provides so many opportunities for children to
learn, and achieves such great results. And not
many boarding schools can achieve this with a
state maintained school and at such an affordable
cost for boarding.
