Room allocations We try very hard to ensure room allocations are carried out fairly and appropriately and consideration is given to boarders' preference. Accommodation The three boarding houses have a diverse range of accommodation. Boarders have a desk, individual safe and lockable cupboard / drawer in addition to normal bedroom furniture. We expect boarders to keep their rooms tidy to help the cleaners who come into the houses each morning. We hope that boarders will personalise their room area and using posters is a great way of doing this. Communal areas and facilities Kitchen: Boarders are expected to attend all meals together in the Dining Hall, however, each house also has a kitchen for eating and preparing snacks which is stocked with bread, butter, milk, jam and spreads. A snack tea is provided each day at 5.00pm. Take-aways are only 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: The houses all have sufficient showers, toilets and washbasins for the boarders. 13 Boarding provision From 2023, our boarding facilities will be further enhanced by the development of our current boarding houses. The new accommodation will provide cheerful and practical new communal house areas including house rooms, extended study room facilities and kitchenettes. A significant change will see single bedrooms for Sixth Formers.
