UK INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS


“The care and welfare of our students is fundamentally important to us, as we know that a happy, supported child will flourish. Each boarding house is a network, a collaborative group of pupils and house staff looking after each other – helping, encouraging and simply being there when needed. Each boarding house is of central importance to the life of our students; lifelong friendships are made, trust is fostered and loyalty forged.


it is the


“As well as the strong bonds made with housemates, commitment


and devotion of housemasters,


housemistresses, tutors and matrons that leaves a lasting impression. These individuals are dedicated to caring for, nurturing and encouraging each of our students. They make it their duty to understand their personalities, their quirks, their talents, their hopes and aspirations.


“Each member of the Fettes staff fulfils a unique role in the educational, moral and social care of children, to ensure their time with us is a positive, thriving, happy one.” Michael Spens,

FOSTERING FRIENDSHIPS


“Boarding from age 11 is a popular option, particularly for families feeling the pressure on London day-school places

and facing the prospect of long daily commutes. Pupils at Bedales Prep School, Dunhurst, are stimulated by a rich diet of academic, sporting and cultural pursuits, which aim to encourage their inquisitiveness and love of learning. Pupils have the flexibility to choose the number of nights they stay at school, which is an ideal introduction to boarding and helps them become fully immersed in the life of the school. “Boarding at the Senior School, Bedales, is an unashamedly communal, six or seven nights a week experience that seeks to develop self-respect and respect for others. Central to it is the mixed-age dormitory; the facility for students of different ages to live together and learn from each other has always been a cherished part of our communal boarding life and is central to our strong tradition of fostering friendships across year groups and developing young people who are adept at working with others.” Keith Budge, headmaster, Bedales Schools, Hampshire (independent coeducational boarding and day school for pupils aged 2¾–18)


The last word goes to a former Fettes student. “I look back on the sense of community and togetherness that the house system fostered in each of us, and appreciate how lucky we were to grow up in such a fun and thriving environment.”
