Residential Houses

Bradbury House

Bradbury House is our brand-new boarding facility adjacent to the Primary School. 

There are two residential teams at Bradbury House: The Burrow for our Primary pupils from years 3 to 6, and Hillside for Year 7 boarders.

Only weekly boarding is available for our Primary pupils.
 
Our Residential Care team put in great steps to make sure the pupils feel like they can make themselves at home when they stay with us. Residential staff provide a predictable, consistent, and nurturing approach in a bright, warm and homely environment, and play and social interactions are the foundation for the residential experience. Bedtime, story time and settling time are a key part of the day, especially for children staying away from home for the first time.

Mansell House

Mansell House is where the Year 8, 9 and 10 boys reside. This is a key time where our Care team put support in place for young people to navigate friendships and steps to develop their independence. 

During the later stages the boys are supported in their transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4.

Adelaide House

Adelaide House is where the Year 8, 9 and 10 girls board. In a similar approach to Mansell House, the residential staff provide a safe and consistent approach to their care and routine and help young people to navigate friendships and develop their independence. This is supported through opportunities to socialise with peers across the school. 

During the later stages the girls are supported in their transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4.

Murray House

Murray House is where both the Year 11 boys and girls live. It has been uniquely designed to provide an environment equipped to support the studies of our Year 11 students as they prepare for exams at the later stages of the academic year.

As well as a focus on studies, the residential staff promote positive wellbeing by engaging opportunities for down time.

Sixth Form

Sixth Form consists of 4 smaller houses, all of which have a small common room and kitchen, and there is also a separate larger communal area and kitchen that the young people have access to. 

In Sixth Form there is a focus on preparing the young people for adulthood and life after Mary Hare which includes the development of life skills. This is balanced with them managing their studies and ensuring they have the environment to focus on these.
