"Anyone from age nine to 18 can board, with everyone hunkering down together in one big co-ed, mixed-age house. It’s a real stunner: ultra-modern, with no more than two pupils per ensuite room. The boarding cohort is fairly small (about 12 per cent of pupils), but there’s a proper homely atmosphere in the house.
There’s no Saturday school; boarders are kept busy on weekends with activities that might include trips to theme parks, shopping expeditions, visits to London and cosy takeaway and movie nights."
