Our House Parents and pastoral assemblies programme

Medical centre and boarding counsellor

Our aim is to make sure that students are healthy and successful in school, so attending classes is the priority. However, there are inevitably times when students may need to rest when they are ill. The Health Centre is open Mondays to Fridays from 07:30 to 18:30. It is staffed by three qualified nurses, and the school doctor visits twice a week. Of course, if a student needs to see a doctor urgently, the local doctor’s offices are five minutes away.

Being a student and having high expectations is not always easy, but we have a dedicated Boarding Counsellor who is available for students to speak to over the course of the week, to provide any additional support that is required.

Healthy and balanced meals

Our catering team cooks fresh food on campus every day for our students. We treat mealtimes not just as an opportunity to refuel bodies for a busy day, but as an opportunity to switch off from the internet, and to engage in a more mindful routine of conversation.

On Tuesdays, we host an international dinner, which is prepared by outside chefs from local restaurants. This allows us to give our students an amazing and authentic culinary experience. In addition to this, on Thursdays we host an Italian evening, where students can choose to eat either freshly made pasta or they can book into our Pizzeria for a special treat.

Activities and sports

A balanced lifestyle is central to what we value. Activities allow students to learn about teamwork, leadership, responsibility and discipline, while developing their passions. As such we offer over 80 activities after school during the week. At the weekend, there are a mixture of activities and trips to local museums and attractions.
