I have always taken the view that boarding at prep school is most successful when parents are given opportunities to be as fully involved as possible.

We have a thriving WhatsApp group for sharing information and photos of the boys, which is an excellent way of keeping parents informed of the day-to-day fun and festivities of the House. We also invite parents along to numerous events in school, such as boys’ birthday suppers, bonfire parties, chorister events and concerts, school plays, sports day and more. Parents are a vital part of our efforts to ensure that boys settle in and are happy.
