In the Junior Boarding House, the children live within a family setting, with the Houseparents and their family living downstairs. The children enjoy a home-from-home set up and the Graduates will play a key role in their pastoral care, alongside the Houseparents and non-resident house tutors. In the Senior Boarding House the Graduates will work as part of a team looking after the children and ensuring their time at the school is enjoyable, safe, caring and stimulating.
