Who looks after my son or daughter outside of school time?

At our Boarding School each Boarding House has a Housemaster or Housemistress who lives in accommodation attached to or next to the Boarding House, and they are there all evenings, weekends and at night. These staff are supported by House Tutors and Matrons who look after the pupils during the day and in the evenings.

What if my son or daughter gets homesick?

We have over 100 years of experience in looking after the sons and daughters of parents who work in the HM Forces, and over 85 of our Boarders are from a Forces family.

What if my son or daughter needs a medical appointment or a haircut?

Medical or similar appointments are arranged by the Housemaster, Housemistress or Matron in liaison with you, and a member of our staff will accompany your son or daughter to their appointment.

What if we move abroad?

Wherever you are posted in the world, you can be reassured that your son or daughter will be safe, cared for and enjoying School life.

Does my son or daughter have to leave school on exeat weekends?

Each term, the Prep and Senior Schools have exeat weekends, but all Boarders can stay at School if you would prefer them to, and this cost is included in the full Fees (so you do not pay extra).
