Accommodated in our modern state boarding facility where you will experience a homely environment where lifelong friendships are made.
PARENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME
Boarders make significant, sometimes exceptional, progress across education, social and psychological areas of their development. Boarders told the inspectors that the experience is ‘character building’ and that it helps them to mature, gain independence and assume personal responsibility.

our main dining facility with modern kitchen facilities
We have boarding facilities at the school with 125 beds across four main boarding houses.
Bolton House is the newest boarding house and can sleep 58 in mostly modern single en suite rooms, with four twin rooms. This boarding house has a large social area, rest room and IT suite with a large dinning area with the capacity to seat 120 guests in one sitting.
Bennett House can sleep 35 in mostly single and twin rooms with a number of interconnected triple and four bed rooms. There is a large social room and common room area with small kitchen. This boarding house has recently been decorated with new furnishings throughout.
Wykeham House is a period style property sleeping 18 in a mixture of twin, triple and four bedded rooms. It too benefits from a common room area with kitchen and has also been recently redecorated.
Dormer House, although a period property, is modern inside with two spacious twin en suite rooms and two four bedded rooms.
The boarding houses have outside hard playing courts used for basketball. The houses benefit from being a short stroll from the historic Steyning high street and are located in the surrounds of the idyllic South Downs, accessible from the high street.
