Children from year 2 or above and older at the time of entry to the school are eligible for boarding. Where boarding places are applied for and the child is under the age of 8 at the anticipated starting date, special consideration may be given.
Once an application form has been lodged by parents with the school, the enrolment process will involve interviews with parents and the child with the Head of Boarding and/or his designates, the relevant head of school section as well as discussions with the child’s previous school. If a boarding place is offered to a child under the age of 8, this will usually be for a trial period in the first instance and involve some conditions of ‘school and boarding readiness‘ to which we expect that parents will agree and support. This policy is designed to protect the interests of the child and the wider school community.
