ST JOHN’S BEAUMONT

Boarding in the English countryside is a haven of tranquillity, a place you can disconnect, be immersed in greenery and wildlife. With an ever-growing fast-paced ‘culture’, we feel it is vital to teach our boys from a young age to be present in the moment and embrace their surroundings. With over 70 acres of land, including amazing indoor and outdoor sporting facilities, an outdoor theatre, ‘Forest School’ and even a ‘Bug Hotel,’ our boys have an abundance of opportunity to roam freely and lead their own activities, allowing them to develop their social skills, physical abilities, and creativity.

Dorm Parents live on-site with their families, nestled in houses located on the school’s grounds. Welcoming the boys with open arms, they spend their evenings and weekends as a unit, embarking on a multitude of outdoor excursions, including trips to Thorpe Park, and making smores on campfires in our forest. Year 6 student Henry and Year 7 student Jaime, who both joined St John’s in the last eighteen months, describe their experiences of moving to St John’s and what makes boarding so special here…

“I’m in Year 6 and I’m from Korea originally. I really appreciate all the options we have in boarding. My favourite is exploring the school grounds on a weekend. The fields and woods are amazing and it’s easy to find your way around. I’ve made lots of different friends here from all around the world.”

- Henry

“I’ve been here for a little while now and have made lots of friends. All the other boys are like my brothers, a great feeling. I love the great sports facilities at SJB – the swimming pool, the gym, the sports hall, tennis courts and climbing wall are all very popular with the boarders! My favourite trip so far was the one to Chessington whilst I too, love a full English breakfast.”

- Jaime
