WELCOME TO BOARDING
Much of what sets us apart from other schools in this area stems from our strong boarding ethos.
BOARDING IS PART OF OUR DNA
Our houses are centrally placed and boarding is central to what we are. Our boarders come from far and wide.
Many are local – a few live closer to school than some of their day pupil friends. Others come from the Southwest of England, while others are from further afield in the UK and some from overseas. This makes for a varied and vibrant community within the houses.
Wherever pupils come from, they soon develop a strong sense of loyalty to their house, which makes for exciting and hotly contested inter-house competitions in sport and many other activities.
We believe that boarding is a rich and life-affirming experience for our pupils. We know that they leave us well prepared for the demands and challenges of university life. Their friendships are extraordinarily long-lived. They are independent, resilient, resourceful, cheerful, tolerant, proactive, kind, capable young men and women who go on to make their mark on the world.
BOARDING AT KING’S PREP
Boarding at King’s Prep is more than just a place to stay – it’s an opportunity for your child to develop confidence, independence, and resilience, all within a safe and nurturing, family-orientated environment.
SENIOR BOARDING
At King’s College, boarding is built around inclusivity and community. Our ideal school size allows us to truly know every pupil as an individual. Both boarders and day pupils are fully integrated into our boarding houses, creating a unified and supportive environment.
