Aims of Boarding

In line with the broader aims of the school, the boarding house contributes in developing the school’s strong sense of family values, encouraging pupils to live and work together harmoniously, build friendships and develop their independence before going onto senior school. At Ashfold, we truly believe that boarding broadens and enhances the educational experience of children outside of the classroom, beyond the usual school day.

The Aims of Boarding at Ashfold School are:

• To provide a safe and homely environment.

• To develop and promote the children’s responsibility for self, others and the environment.

• To produce an open and trusting environment in which each child can feel that he or she is able to approach any other member of the community, whether that be staff or pupils, confident in the knowledge that they will be treated and respected as an individual.

• To provide a range of activities, hobbies and pastimes that will assist in the personal, social and cultural development of each pupil.
