Room allocations We try very hard to ensure room allocations are carried out fairly and appropriately and consideration is given to boarders' preference. Accommodation In 2023, we completed the renovation and extension of two of our three boarding houses (with plans to renovate the third in due course). Each boarding house has its own unique feel and character and all integrate day students and boarders together. Bedrooms: Bedrooms feature a desk, drawers, cupboard and washbasin. Sixth Formers are allocated single rooms. Students are encouraged to personalise their own space and using posters is a great way of doing this. Boarders are expected to keep their rooms tidy to help the cleaners who come into the house each morning. Each boarder also has a safe, and a lockable cupboard for valuables. Kitchen: Each house has a kitchen for eating and preparing snacks. This is stocked with bread, butter, milk, jam and spreads. A snack tea is provided each day at 5pm. Take-aways are permitted on Friday and Saturday nights. Boarders are expected to wash up their own dishes and cutlery and duty teams of boarders do a final tidy up each evening. This is known colloquially as ‘Squads’. Games rooms: comprise a range of activities such as table tennis, pool tables and table football. TV rooms have large screen televisions and facilities for movie nights. Movies are aimed at the age range of the children watching. Bathroom facilities: there are showers, toilets and washbasins for the boarders. Boarding provision 13
