A modern and flexible approach to boarding
Our boarding is firmly rooted in a home-from-home, family approach with day children completely integrated with our weekly, flexi and occasional boarders – all of whom thrive. Boarding here is flexible and fun with pastoral care at the centre of all we do.
We offer a modern flexi-boarding approach for our children which adds real value to their education. We understand the demands on the lives of busy working parents and are able to provide the flexibility required to fit around working family life.
In Booker House, named after the original family who founded the school here in 1950, our light and airy dorms are set up so that your child will share a room with one friend or more. We hold weekly ‘Wacky Wednesdays’ where non-boarders can have a sleepover with their friends and enjoy the evening activities.
Flexi-boarding also gives children the opportunity to ease into boarding as they move up the years in the prep school, ready for senior school boarding life.
During your child’s stay at Booker House we provide them with plenty of opportunities to socialise with friends, participate in sporting activities, play musical instruments, work on their homework during prep sessions and enjoy the homely atmosphere.
