We run a flexi boarding system where children board anything from one night to seven nights per week. The younger boarder often starts by staying one or two nights a week and then gradually increases, with the majority of the senior years staying four nights per week,  usually Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday night is quieter and a real treat night for those who are boarding.

Approximately three quarters of the pupils in school community do some form of boarding.

ORGANISATION

·        The Boarding Housemaster co-ordinates the weekend activities and is always present  at bedtimes and wake up times each day.

·        The Matronal team look after the children each day and care for their day to day and medical needs. 

·        The Senior Matron oversees the administration of the boarding area, including the allocation of boarding spaces which are at a premium on certain nights especially Fridays! She also co-ordinates the running the Matronal team ensuring that care is of the highest standard..

·        Places are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Due to heavy demand on certain nights, we encourage parents to book the nights they require in advance with the senior Matron.  

If you have any questions regarding boarding please contact the Senior Matron by email, phone or personally at school. angelabrennan@orwellpark.co.uk /phone no: (details to be provided)
