Our homely and welcoming Boarding Houses are vibrant, close-knit communities led by a team of dedicated staff who ensure each child feels at home. We pride ourselves on our extensive experience in helping children from the UK and across the world settle into school life quickly, build
lasting friendships, and enjoy a sense of security.
