Boarding School, Luckley-Oakfield Our Boarding house staff, supported by current boarders, are skilled at ensuring that new boarders are absorbed into the boarding family with ease and soon become settled and happy. The friendships created in a boarding environment are long standing. Pupils and staff are in effect a second family, where close and supportive relationships are the norm. Friendships also develop across year groups enabling pupils to extend their social networks beyond their immediate peer group.

Our girls thrive within the routines set by the boarding houses. Pupils have designated study periods to work either in their own rooms, or communal computer suites and study centres. For more senior pupils this space and structure is enormously beneficial in focusing their efforts and helping them to reach their potential. For younger pupils the availability of staff to support and guide their prep is both reassuring and motivating.
