Occasional boarding:

Occasional boarding (often known as flexi-boarding) is an option available for parents where they can request for their child to board on any given night(s) during the school term as long as space is available in the boarding house.

This method of boarding can be very useful for parents when unexpected work commitments or emergencies arise and it is reassuring to be able to book their children into a familiar and safe environment.

Occasional boarding is also very important when pupils want to try boarding, before they commit to a regular slot. They can come in and try a night of boarding with their friends and enjoy all the activities that are laid on for them. Every term we run 'Try Boarding’ nights for children in our Middle School which is an exciting and rewarding introduction to boarding.

In addition ‘Try Boarding’ nights we have a variety of special evenings; discos, theme nights, parties, outings barbeques where if space is available children can choose to board.

"Occasional boarding serves to meets the unexpected needs of parents and pupils alike as well as acting as method of trying boarding at St Hugh’s."
