Boarding

Park Close is the idyllic home of the Lower School’s weekly and flexi boarding cohort. Situated
a short walk off the main campus and set in its own secluded gardens and grounds, it can
accommodate up to around 30 children in a mix of single, double and dormitory rooms. There is
an excellent social space, well equipped with television, IT kit and popular games; whilst the newly
refurbished kitchen and day room are perfect for quieter activities. The generous grounds include
a cricket pitch, tennis courts, astro cricket nets and play equipment.
