Boarding at The King's School

Introduction to boarding

At its heart, King's is a boarding school. Our boarders are not squeezed into the corners of a tightly compacted day school, they experience the joys of living in a gracious setting especially designed for boarders, a place where they are free to wander through parklands, farm yards and woods and in a place that understands boarders and gives priority to meeting their needs.

In our boarding houses, there is a sense of “mateship”. Great friendships form and strong loyalties to the School. Boarders are cared for by over forty staff and their families. This results in a happy mix of boarders, staff, babies, dogs and those magical qualities that make a place a home.

Reasons for boarding at King's

Boarding remains popular at King's for several reasons. These include:

Extra academic help available from tutors and being able to access the School's learning resources after school.
Avoiding the time having to be spent travelling to and from school and being able to use this time more productively.
The security and pastoral care given to boarders who are supervised in an environment where routines are established, and where they are supportive and enriching.
The capacity of boarders to develop great friendships and insights into those who might be from different backgrounds and cultures.
The influence of great role models and being able to learn the skills associated with living in a community.
The capacity of boarding to develop personal qualities such as independence, resilience and a respect for the rights of others.

Boarding at King's is a happy experience with parents welcome to visit their son when they can. Being a national leader in boarding, King's is able to draw upon their expertise in order to provide a boarding experience that is happy and fulfilling.
