Looking after our boarders The School’s excellent pastoral care is the backbone of our boarding. Our aim above all is to ensure boys are happy within our community. Boys’ tutors, their housemasters and the house matrons form strong relationships with families. All of our boarding housemasters and tutors also teach and run Other Half activities, ensuring important continuity between the boys’ day-time and boarding experience. Should they need it, boys have access to a health professional 24/7. We also have a Health Centre on site and a team of school counsellors. Making the most of time to study Set homework times help boarders to keep on top of their academic performance and the seamless integration between academic and boarding staff ensures that each boy’s work is carefully monitored. All boarding houses have their own workrooms in addition to the School’s and many of the boarders find the boarding routine, its environment and the help of staff and their peers beneficial to their studies, particularly in the Sixth Form. Boarding in the Sixth Form is great academically. You don’t have to spend any time travelling and there is plenty of support available from teachers and other students.” A boarder
