Friendly and caring...
You can be assured that our teaching staff, and particularly our boarding staff, understand the emotional needs of our children. To be a boarding houseparent looking after children requires understanding, common sense, experience, patience and humour. Our staff are all carefully selected. Our staff have chosen their careers because they have a passion and understanding of children.

From bedtime stories to games, from the need for some common sense to some firm persuasion that a bedroom needs tidying up, or for understanding when things are not going well: this helps children settle and enjoy being boarders. Our boarding children know that no other independent school gives them as many home comforts as we do.

We are a small school with superb facilities, a first class academic record and an ethos that means common sense prevails. In the last ten years the total number of boarding children in independent schools nationally has dropped 25%. In this same period our boarding numbers have doubled.
