Full Boarding students live at the school during term time and are able to return home at the weekend (this is flexible, and exact weekend timings depend on the child’s Year Group). Full Boarding is available from Year 3 to Year 13.

Full details can be found on the Full Boarding page.

Flexi Boarders are local students who attend the academic school day from 8.30am to 3.35pm, but their day is supplemented with additional wrap-around care. This includes early drop-off, late pick-up and 7 to 10 days of boarding per year. The Flexi Boarding package is also inclusive of meals and co-curricular activities.

Full details can be found on the Flexi Boarding page.

In the Sixth Form, we offer Full Boarding and Non-Boarding. The Non-Boarding Package offers additional flexibility of accessing school facilities in the evening, with members of the Sixth Form team on hand for additional support, and participating in co-curricular activities. Meals are included. While students are not required to board, all students are attached to a boarding house.

More information can be found here.
