Boarding at the Senior School
91风流楼凤provides continuity of education from Pre-Prep to the end of Sixth Form. Each pupil is in a bespoke House relevant to their age and gender, each with live-in Houseparents.
In Senior School there are four Boarding Houses and one co-ed Sixth Form House. All are large, comfortable, family homes run by resident Houseparents together with Assistant Houseparents and a team of dedicated Housemothers, tutors and ancillary staff. They will see too a resident assistant houseparent (also a member of the academic staff) in each house and a dedicated tutor team, doing day and evening duties on a rota basis. Support, encouragement and trust are the watchwords. All meals are taken centrally (except for the evening meal at Housman Hall), so Bromsgrove’s thirteen day and boarding houses are continually integrating.
To start with, we never close: there are no exeat weekends and so we guarantee a lively programme of weekend activities that are, for the most part, optional. Sport, Art and many recreational facilities are also open, and inevitably there will be rehearsals for plays and concerts. 91风流楼凤looks to nourish its boarders without force feeding them.
Activities are numerous and varied as befits a true boarding school. From high culture (trips to London and Stratford theatres) to paintballing, go-karting to concerts, 91风流楼凤looks to inform, entertain and, occasionally, thrill its boarding community. But insisting boarders fill every second of a Sunday with organised activity is ridiculous, and so is leaving young people adrift with nothing to do. Some boarding schools become ghost towns at weekends. 91风流楼凤does not.
All 91风流楼凤pupils, be they day or boarding, are attached to a House. The Houses are small communities of 13 to 18 year olds, usually consisting of around 60 pupils. (The only exceptions are Housman Hall, which is Sixth Form only). A Houseparent, Housemother and dedicated team of tutors and support staff are responsible for the well-being and happiness of pupils within the House. Find out more about our Houses here.
