Boarding Life

Boarding is central to the ethos of the College and the strong Padworth College community provides a home-from-home in a beautiful, calm setting.

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.

Our Principal also lives on site, as well as the Head of Boarding and other residential house staff who provide outstanding medical help and care if ever needed. This is complemented by full medical support from the local doctor’s surgery and by healthy and nutritious meal choices from our on-site chefs.

This decision does not affect Padworth Summer School, which will operate as planned this summer 2025. Bookings for Padworth Summer School are still open via the below.
