Overview
Supporting military families with outstanding boarding experience
If you are serving in the Forces, you want to be confident that your children are happily engrossed and enjoying their school and boarding life. Our experienced Boarding Team is outstanding, making every child and their parents feel part of a wonderful extended family.
Our Boarders reside in newly renovated rooms all with great character. They enjoy a daily laundry service and are supported to organise and care for all their possessions. Common rooms are open engaging spaces where they can relax and have fun forming friendships that will last a lifetime. Our resident students have so much to do with a rich activity programme across weekdays and weekends and access to all the facilities and open spaces we are so fortunate to have at the school.
Keeping in contact and up to date with your children from anywhere in the word is something we take exceptionally seriously whether it is a weekly catch up with a member of boarding staff, frequent updates from teachers and the ability to enjoy a video call at your convenience. In simple terms we want serving parents to be able to get on with their lives enjoying regular updates that give that much need confidence they are having a truly brilliant school life.
