“Being a boarder gave me a more involved school experience. At university I find myself talking about school and 'house life' with an affection that is obviously alien to so many other people.”

We have 28 boarding student videos so you can hear the perspectives of students in different year groups and from different countries.


Three Meals a Day
Healthy eating is high on our agenda across the school, but particularly for boarders who have so many of their meals with us. We believe that giving students nourishing, balanced meals and a wide variety of choice will set them up for whatever the day holds.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in our Oakview restaurant every day, catering to all dietary and cultural requirements.
