Welcome from your Principal and Director of Boarding

Welcome

Welcome to Orchard House Boarding House!

I hope you will be very happy with your accommodation while you are studying at Abbey College Cambridge.

Orchard House offers a friendly and well-located home for our students. It offers a balance between socialising with other Abbey students and allowing students to have a place to study outside of the classroom.

We hope that you find this booklet helpful for settling in as well as understanding what is required from you.

Enjoy the year!

Dr Julian Davies Principal, Abbey College Cambridge

Your boarding experience is very important to us and we hope you are happy here. We will provide you with all of the support, experience and opportunity to grow into confident, resilient and independent young adults. We expect you to participate as a member of our very special community and look forward to learning more about you.
