Day Pupils

Day pupils play a full role in the House system and gain from the sense of community that comes with belonging to a House.   For staff, the opportunity to observe pupils at work and at play, in social as well as classroom situations, helps to provide a full and rounded picture of every child.

Each child at the Prep School, whether a boarder or a day pupil, is a member of either Crossways House (for girls) or Kenwyn House (for boys).  The House System provides an important infrastructure for support and guidance in these early years, and our Housemasters and Housemistresses take personal responsibility for the well-being of each child in their House. As in the Senior School all children attend school six days per week and participate fully in extra-curricular events. In many instances they choose to stay overnight when there are late evening activities such as play rehearsals.

In the Senior School, day pupils share studies with boarders and take on house duties alongside their boarding friends. Prep is undertaken in House, with resident and visiting house tutors available to help.
