Weekly boarders typically come to school on a Sunday night and stay until Friday, returning home again for the weekends after school finishes. Living at school during the week enables pupils to make the most of each day, without the stress of the daily commute, freeing up precious time to focus on their homework and enjoy a rich co-curricular programme of activities. Boarders usually throw themselves into the life of the school and are often found at the heart of everything that is going on.
