Safety, comfort and practicality are important. Every bedroom has a fire smoke sensor in it, safety stays on the double glazed windows, proper high quality fire door, of course fully carpeted + their own sink with hot and cold. What about some nice little touches such as heated towel rail and wall mounted fan for the hot weather? What about a radio/tape and CD player, or even a hair dryer plus some powered ventilation? No bother, we have these in every bedroom. The number of girls or boys to a room varies - normally from 4 down to 1 or 2 (dependent on age and availability).
5 star boarding ~ you bet!
Perhaps now you see why so many parents and children choose our boarding option. Excellent academic results, a great deal of fun and excitement out of school hours, a huge number of things to do with loads of equipment and facilities. Overlaying it all patient but effective care. Three good nutritious meals a day, clothes and bedding washed, bedtimes which happen, homework done properly. Any accidents and mishaps quickly sorted by the school nurses.
At home these days often both parents work. It is even more difficult if you are a single parent family. It is human nature to get tired. Running a job, running a house, buying the groceries, washing the clothes, supervising homework, and still having the energy to take them on trips so every waking hour of every day is packed full of enjoyment and learning? Ensure they understand a bathroom has a purpose, hair reasonable, home projects for school completed ~ and time to chat???? To achieve all this nowadays you have to be superman or superwomen!!
A recent study showed that paying the extra to board your child rather than send them as a day pupil is money well spent and can in fact save you money overall. Parents often forget just what it costs to keep and bring up a child these days. Boarding is a very sensible option. How many parents find they often become a glorified taxi driver for their children?
Our first-class medical centre has its own private bathroom, comfortable beds and cheerful decor. Fully qualified nurses are on hand to deal with medical problems. All boarding houses are protected by coded door locks and have outside phone contact systems for visitors. During all those long winter nights our whole campus is well lit all through the night with closed circuit television overlay and all our entrances and exits are automatically security controlled.
We also provide the space to be alone or have peace and quiet, and the space to have fun with one’s friends.
