Day and Boarding options
College offers both Day and Boarding options for boys and girls from the ages of 13-18.
Our House structure, school life and routines have been developed so that all of our pupils can play a full part in life at College. We have 11 Houses at College, including two dedicated Day Houses. In all other Houses, a maximum of 25% of any Year group in a House may be Day Boarders, so that we retain our rich and vibrant full boarding ethos in the evenings and at weekends. All of the college Houses are located around the perimeter of the campus.
Discover more about the different Day and boarding options below or click here to learn more about the different Houses.
You can choose from three different options for your child.
- As a Full Boarder
- As a Day Boarder
- As a Day Pupil
As a Full Boarder
Your son or daughter will live in his or her Boarding House during term time and return home to you during the holidays and agreed weekends. The full boarding principle is that your child will spend more time boarding in College than at home during term time.
As a Day Boarder
Your son or daughter will be part of a Boarding House, have their own bed and use its facilities during their days here. They are expected to stay a minimum of 2 nights per week but are encouraged to stay more. The fee covers 35 nights each term, and there is a charge for every night in addition to this. A maximum of 25% of any Year group in a House may be Day Boarders, so that we retain our rich and vibrant full boarding ethos in the evenings and at weekends.
As a Day Pupil
Your son or daughter will be part of a House and use its facilities during their days here. Day Pupils are just as much a part of House life as Boarders and have the option to take part in the same activities with the exception of the overnight stay. If required, they may also stay overnight up to six times each year, on specific nights agreed with the Housemaster or Housemistress.
