Round the clock medical and pastoral care ensures that each child feels happy and secure, and our in-house catering team serves a wide variety of tasty and healthy cuisines for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each boarding house has its own kitchen in which students can prepare their own meals and snacks. The seven-day boarding activity programme is busy and diverse and encourages each child’s immersion into school life, including: trips to historic towns and locations, visits to museums and theme parks and activities such as mountain biking and indoor climbing. Tettenhall College believes that extracurricular activities are the cornerstone of a well-rounded education and that it fosters social and team working skills.
