Life in Boarding

Boarding, with its strong focus on pastoral care and student welfare, ensures there is a balance of academic study alongside recreational and social activities.  Our school is essentially a boarding community with a global perspective.  We welcome students from all over the world and celebrate cultural diversity.  Our day students are an integral part of this community and enjoy the benefits of having time and space to develop their skills, interests and friendships.

At Padworth, we provide a safe environment in which to live and learn.  Our Principal, Director of Studies and House Parents reside on campus, which means there is a family atmosphere of care and support for all students at all times.  The pastoral care we provide through our residential team is complemented by full medical support from the local doctor’s surgery and by healthy and nutritious meal choices from our on-site chefs.
