In our Boarding House there is a range of individual and shared bedrooms, with shared bathrooms and communal social areas.
We aim to locate boarders close to other students of the same or similar age. Male and female students’ bedrooms are located in separate sections of the Boarding House. Boys and girls and not allowed into each other’s living accommodation, including bedrooms, bathrooms, corridors and staircases, and any breach of this rule would be regarded as a serious disciplinary issue.
Social spaces such as living rooms and games rooms are communal and are for all of our young people.
Each student has a comfortable single bed, a desk, a wardrobe and drawers. Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis, but students are also expected to keep their rooms neat and tidy. Taking responsibility for our own space encourages the development of independent living skills, but It is also important because we live in a community where we respect and value one another.
Students are encouraged to personalise their rooms, and large pin boards are provided. However, in the interest of fire prevention items such as blankets and shawls must not be draped on the walls or ceiling. For the same reason, kettles, cooking gadgets and heaters are not allowed in bedrooms, and floors must be kept clear for rapid evacuation.
If any furniture or other items are damaged, please do let us know straight away so that we can arrange for repair work or replacement.
