What to Bring
Boarders must come to boarding with sufficient items of clothing to follow the school dress code for the week and for casual wear for the evenings. All clothing and shoes must be in good repair. Details of school uniform are given in the main prospectus.
All articles MUST be marked with the pupil's NAME (not just initials). No responsibility can be taken for unmarked or inadequately marked clothing.
In the evening, boarders are free to wear non-uniform clothes. There is adequate storage but do bear in mind that clothing will need to come home for laundering at the end of each week.
Boarders wll need to bring a duvet and pillow, a duvet cover, a bottom sheet and a pillowcase - the sheet, cover and pillowcase will need to come home for laundering.
