EARLE HOUSE IS NOW OPEN
Earle House, our new trailblazing boarding house is READY!
State-of-the-art Earle House marks a new dawn for the School and a new era for 21st century prep-school boarding across the UK.
Designed with children’s comfort and modern lifestyle at its heart, it champions boarding fun for eight to 13-year-olds from hub spaces for games and music, to a helter-skelter style slide to transport them between the four levels.
Headmaster, Gareth Jones said the project investment fulfils the School’s sector-leading vision to offer an unrivalled experience for all pupils.
Home from home experience plus a helter-skelter slide!
On 31 August this year, the first pupils moved in and are enjoying the ‘home from home’ experience with truly flexible options that range from just one night or a few days a week, through to weekly and full 24-7 boarding.
The cosy twin to four-bed (en-suite!) rooms are light and bright, while in the main House spacious common rooms and smaller ‘hub’ areas provide so there’s always the perfect space depending on mood or activity.
Inside, special features are the huge cinema area for film nights, a large and welcoming dining room and of course the absolute star – an impressive helter-skelter style slide as an alternative option to taking the stairs!
Outside, the striking central courtyard features plenty of sitting areas with free flow spaces that connect the inside of the House to its external stunning 90-acre park location.
House parents’ and staffing accommodation have been carefully thought out to enable monitoring of the children within open spaces, but with enough quiet areas to allow some downtime as children would enjoy at home.
And boarders joining us in Year 7 have access to a through boarding pathway to nearby Rugby School. For more details click here

The ambition and scope of this project demonstrates that prep school boarding is flourishing at the School and is testimony to the hard work of all the staff and governors there. Most importantly, this development will add hugely to the experience of the young people at the School – they are very lucky indeed!
