Early starts. Long commutes. Saturday Sports. Sound familiar?
Our 'Study Play Stay' boarding option has been designed to make life easier for families, and help our students thrive. It's flexible boarding, built around your needs.
Here’s why it works…
Part of the family
Our flexible boarders aren’t simply visitors to the boarding house – they recieve their own allocated bed and storage space, so can leave as much or as little as they like behind to make life that little bit easier. By leaving books and sports kit safely at school, they know exactly where everything they need is, making precious time spent at home that bit more relaxing.
Study. Play. Stay.
Study. Play. Stay.
No more early morning commutes
Our flexible approach to boarding means that students can stay over Friday nights ahead of Saturday fixtures and commit to their chosen sport. By staying multiple nights, they are able to dedicate time to training in our specialist gym before or after school, and can study knowing they are supported by our boarding team.
By choosing Study Play Stay, you know your child is safe and prepared for Saturday fixtures, without the need for early game starts and even earlier morning commutes. The boarding staff will ensure your child is ready for games, and have the support of their friends behind them.
Study. Play. Stay.
Study. Play. Stay.
Structure and Support
Our boarding evening routine includes dedicated prep time in the evenings with members of staff present to help guide research and homework, and our boarders are permitted use of the library out of hours.
This ensures that students who may dedicate a large amount of time to co-curricular activities such as sport or performing arts have structured balance between academic success and co-curricular ventures.
