Why board?

For New Parents: Boarding
Welcome to our Boarding House

We are the new Boarding House Parents – Tom and Alix Sherman. We settled into school, with our children Oscar and Jemima, over the summer and are really looking forward to running the Boarding House at St Peter’s.

We concentrate solely on the Boarding House children and on out of school care for our day pupils.  We aim to ensure that the Boarding House really is a home from home, continuing the excellent standard of boarding care established by our predecessors - we are very proud of our last OFSTED report.

The Boarding House is a place where children can wind down after a hard day’s toil, let off steam, immerse themselves in a variety of stimulating activities and continue to develop into confident, self reliant and charming young people in a supportive family environment.  

Our Boarders have an exciting programme of activities, which varies each term.  We also plan to set up a Boarder’s blog soon – so watch this space.

If you are in the least bit interested in boarding or flexi-boarding as an option for your child then please feel free to contact us, Tom and Alix, direct on 01395 267912.  We would love to show you around.

Parents Questionnaire Responses

The following are some comments from the recent questionnaire that we sent out to parents of current boarders:

'We are very happy with the Boarding facility, it is a great help during the week...I know my child is enjoying themselves in a safe, fun place and does not have a long journey home...'

'The food at St.Peters has always been fantastic ...'

'Both our children try more selection of foods than a year ago.'

'Boarding staff are approachable, friendly and kind.'

'We like being able to phone and chat post-school hours ... Matron has eased many a mum worry!'
