Every boarding house has its own carefully selected staff, who care for the boarder’s welfare and practical needs. The staff live alongside the boarders and they are always on hand to offer support, guidance and advice, along with the support of the school’s fully equipped medical Centre. Boarders follow a structured routine which encourages them to get the most out of their time, homework and tutoring sessions are supervised with help and support given when necessary.
