BOARDING PLACES
Following our selection process, any potential boarders who are shortlisted for a place will be invited to an interview as part of the 'suitability for boarding' process. All boarders pay a bond of £1750 on the acceptance of a place, which is refundable at the end of their academic education here. This bond is not refundable if you are offered a place, accept, achieve the grades for entry but then change your mind. In the event of a student not achieving the entry requirements, the offer of a place may be withdrawn by the school and the bond would be refunded.
A boarding place cannot be converted into a day place.
