The role of a houseparent, while challenging is often the most fulfilling and rewarding role in the school and here at the Royal, this is no different. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute and build on our boarding experience that has helped students achieve academic and extra-curricular success (including a gold medal and MBE).
Boarding at The Royal School, Wolverhampton
Boarders at the Royal are a keep part of the school’s character, ethos and history. The school has two boarding houses, Dartmouth and Lichfield house, serving boys and girls from year 7 to year 13. We have capacity for 82 boarders at present, but following refurbishment as part of our £46 million rebuild and refurbishment programme, this will increase to 100 students across the two houses.
Our boarders join us from across the globe and from all walks of life. We house Elite Swimmers, International Students (with British citizenship or leave to remain), and UK residents alongside a small number of Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASCs) in keeping with our origins and foundation as an orphanage.
