Junior boarders, aged 9 to 13 (Years 5, 6, 7 & 8), have their own recently refurbished House in the Main School.  Each boarder has her own desk with overhead bunk and shares her room with two or three other girls.  The house has two common rooms with TVs and a Table Tennis table, an Arts and Crafts Room with a networked computer and printer and a small kitchen. Two resident Housemistresses and a GAP student care for these younger girls. 

Tea together after school is followed by activities, supper, an hour's supervised Prep, a swim or sporting activity and then bed.  Accompanied visits to town and making hot drinks and snacks in the House kitchen are other highlights of the younger boarders' routine.  School House has its own Behaviour Policy, based on rewarding good behaviour.  Merit Award Points are given and can be exchanged for a variety of treats.

The transition from Junior to Senior House is eased by the links existing between the Houses.  Meals are taken together in the School Dining Room.  Sixth Form prefects are attached to School House and regularly spend time there.  Swimming and other suitable evening and weekend activities are open to girls of both Houses and School House girls send representatives to the Boarding Forum.
