Accommodation At Dean Close Prep School we provide a warm, caring, family atmosphere in our three, large boarding houses in which children learn to be responsible for themselves, and to care for others.
At the heart of each of the boarding houses are the House Parents, a married couple who live in the house with their own children. The House Parents are supported by a young resident house matron, two house tutors, and several non-resident members of academic staff, all of whom make up the boarding community.
There are three large boarding houses, Caldecote House for boys, Fortfield House for girls, and Wilton House for the younger girls and boys. Each of the houses has recently been refurbished offering modern and comfortable accommodation. On the lower floors there are common rooms, a sitting room with Sky Television and games consoles, a Prep room, games rooms with table tennis, pool table, or table football, a kitchen and changing rooms with showers to be used after games. The House parents live on the middle floor, ideally located to foster the extended family atmosphere upon which our boarding thrives. The spacious dormitories are largely on the upper floors of the house.
Full Boarding At Dean Close Prep School 92% of the boarders are full boarders, the majority of whose parents live and work abroad, which means that there are always plenty of other children to play with at the weekends.
After school In the secure environment we can offer at DCPS, cared for by committed staff, the children are free to be themselves and there is no peer pressure to grow up too quickly. After school the children are invariably to be found playing outside. Roller blades and skateboards are always popular, but the children also enjoy exploring the extensive school grounds. Our own woods and brook give children the opportunity to create their own entertainment and the wide range of sports facilities and organised activities mean that the children learn to use their time constructively. However, it is very important that children are left with time to explore life at their own pace, and in their own way, so sometimes after a long day at school they take the opportunity to just relax in their houses and find space to unwind.
