Where You Live

GCSE and first-year A-level students join specific Boarding Houses where the rules are suitable for the age of the year-groups concerned. Upper-sixth and one-year A-level students live in ‘final-year’ houses, where the regime reflects their greater experience and independence.

Single-room accommodation

All students have their own study-bedroom. Room sizes vary from house to house but all include study space as well as a bed, storage, etc. Most rooms have en-suite bathrooms and all have telephone lines and free broadband Internet access. All houses have common-rooms with TV, digital TV receiver and DVD player, and facilities for making tea, coffee and snacks.

Menu choices

We provide breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. Breakfast is a mixture of hot and cold options depending upon the day of the week, at lunchtime students can choose from sandwiches, salads, fruit and drinks prepared by the College’s catering team, and dinner is a choice of hot food options.

Food is wholesome and healthy (there is always a vegetarian choice), and the Catering Manager is very pleased to consider suggestions from students for additional or alternative dishes. We can cater for most special dietary needs, from vegetarian to Halal.

Medical support

All boarders are fully supported medically and have access to excellent medical and guidance services if needed. A fully qualified College Nurse is on site during normal hours and there is 24-hour medical cover for all boarders.
