Senior School Boarding Houses
Rupert Brooke & School House are our Senior School boarding houses for students aged 13-18 years old (Year 9 to Sixth Form). Rupert Brooke is an al- girls boarding house, and School House is an all-boys boarding house.
These vibrant, warm and homely boarding houses enhance the academic progression, personal responsibility and leadership of the Senior School students within them. The communities are close-knit; deep friendships and expert pastoral care lie at the core, as we prepare these teenage boarding students for a more independent lifestyle at university and beyond.

Felicity Passmore and Chris Lindop – Houseparents
Felicity and Chris have lived in School House since Senior School’s inception in 2018 and know the house and the boys inside out. They are both from boarding backgrounds themselves and believe in the fundamental benefits of ‘togetherness’ through boarding as their guiding principal. School House is run with much care and attention to detail, thanks to their commitment and genuine enjoyment of being around such a positive and fun community.
