Boarding at St Hugh’s flourishes, embracing the different boarding needs of parents and pupils alike.
At the core of our boarding remains our weekly boarders who benefit immensely from living together within a friendly, well supported and family-based community.
In addition to this, pupils may choose to be a flexi-boarder. Flexi boarding is designed for pupils to spend between one and three nights per week in the house. This method of boarding is very useful for pupils to ‘get used’ to boarding on a regular basis before weekly boarding.
Our primary aim in boarding is ‘to provide each child with an environment in which he / she can flourish, develop and fulfill their potential whilst staying away from home’.
If you would like your child to begin boarding or have any queries, please contact Mr and Mrs Avery: boarding@st-hughs.co.uk.
