With around 40 Full Boarders, more than half of which have parents serving in the British Armed Forces , Cade House – the Prep School Boarding House – is a kind and caring home where every weekend is bustling and busy. Our boarders are aged between 7 and 13 years old.

A typical weekend involves Sport fixtures on a Saturday morning, followed by lunch and an afternoon of activities and trips. The evening is spent together in House – popular events include movie nights, bingo, House quiz, silent discos and more! Sundays are a lovely family day in the Boarding House.

Children have an easy start to their day with a pyjama breakfast. This is followed by a Sunday activity, such as Crazy Golf, cinema trips, climbing walls, GoApe, Aquaventure, Ninja Warrior, Thorpe Park and many more. We always work hard to put together a programme of activities and we encourage our boarders to help choose activities so they are involved from the start.

To arrange a visit, call our Prep School Admissions team on 01242 265639.
