Boarding

Life for boarders at King Edward’s is richly diverse, with our boarders enjoying a wealth of social and learning opportunities. Full-time boarders live at School seven days a week throughout the term, apart from exeat weekends. Each term has two exeat weekends when boarders leave for home at 16:00 on Friday and return the following Sunday evening, allowing time to be spent with parents and guardians during term time.

We also offer weekly boarding, where our pupils return home on Friday afternoon, or on Saturday after school fixtures or activities, and return on Sunday evening or Monday morning. Weekly boarders are fully involved in house and co-curricular activities during the week, and can also enjoy a relaxed weekend with their families.

Our flexi-boarding opportunities allows for a more flexible pattern, typically where our families arrange a regular pattern of week-night boarding to fit with busy family schedules. Our house teams are ready to accommodate different requirements and ensure that pupils are at home in our houses, whether they live in them for one or seven nights a week.
