Flexi-boarding is a popular option at Lockers Park. Many of our boys who live locally choose to board one or two nights a week to benefit from the social experience and the activities on offer. Some may have rehearsals or sports fixtures on some evenings and prefer to stay at school. Some simply fancy the chance to spend extra time with friends rather than be at home with a babysitter. There is no pressure at all on boys to board. The magic of joining a boarding school is that all boys — including those who choose not to stay the night with us — benefit from our boarding ethos, with the special community spirit and wraparound care it provides.
Boarding for Senior School Applications
Many of the best known independent senior schools in the UK require full or weekly boarding. Flexi-boarding in a familiar and supportive environment gives boys the chance to think about whether they would enjoy this – and parents the reassurance that their son is independent enough to consider this as an option. Senior boarding schools value flexi-boarding experience – they want to know that boys applying to their school will enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and feel comfortable away from home.
A Homely and Fun Boarding Experience
Our dedicated Houseparents, Mr and Mrs Newman, along with their boarding team, provide a fun family environment where every boy counts.
The flexibility provided by our boarding option is indispensable for many of our parents. A large number of day boys choose to board on our specially themed boarding nights. These provide truly memorable occasions that our old boys remember with fondness.
