As well as a vast range of facilities in boarding, we also offer a structured evening activity programme which includes crafts, cooking and sports.
Academic & daily life
Supporting learning and wellbeing beyond the school day
Students have access to all on-site facilities throughout boarding hours such as use of the state-of-the-art gym, study hub, performing arts centre, music rooms and sports facilities.
Senior boarders all attend study, a homework session at the end of the school day attended by day and boarding students. If they require further time or support for homework or revision, boarders have exclusive access to ‘The Learning Hub’ each evening. These sessions are led by a member of staff to support with any academic needs. For our younger students, we ensure reading and homework support is offered within the boarding house on a daily basis.
Creating a true home at Finborough
I’m very much looking forward to overseeing the refurbishment of the boarding facilities here at Finborough. It’s an exciting opportunity to enhance the environment for our boarders and ensure it continues to feel like a true home away from home. My goal as Director of Boarding is to ensure that every boarder in my care enjoys a fulfilling boarding experience, filled with fun, laughter, and lifelong friendships.
Activities & boarding options
Exciting weekend activities that bring our boarders together
Our weekend activity programme which includes frequent external outings is a highlight for our boarding students. We offer a range of age specific activities including go-karting, paddle boarding, bowling and escape rooms. Several of these are intended for the whole boarding house, providing a ‘family day out’ experience.
An example of the activity programme can be seen below along with The Boarders Handbook.
With full, weekly and flexi boarding options available, we offer a bespoke experience to help your child/children experience the best preparation for life.
An example schedule of our weekend activities can be viewed below.
