Boarding
| Every scholar is cared for by both a houseparent and a tutor. Prior to the third form (national Curriculum Year 9) that tutor is the form tutor; from the third form onwards, each scholar has a personal tutor with whom they have weekly meetings to discuss every aspect of their life at school and beyond. In addition to the boarding houses each scholar is placed into one of three competitive houses named after the local castles – Hopton, Stokesay and Wigmore.Each of the five boarding houses is cared for by resident houseparents, nearly all of whom have young families of their own and provide an outstanding level of care for their charges. Non-resident house tutors assist in the running of the houses and almost every member of the academic staff is either a resident or non-resident house tutor.Education is a partnership between parents and school. At Bedstone the staff, scholars, and parents know each other very well, and the Headmaster, Second Master, Houseparents and tutors are always available for consultation. On all occasions we are only a telephone call away.The single-sex boarding houses cater for a small range of year groups, arranged according to the different stages of a child’s development. The boarding houses are comfortable, well-equipped and homely. There is a mixture of small dormitories and study bedrooms depending upon the age of the scholars and the geography of the individual house. Each house has its own common room with television and DVD, and a kitchenette so that snacks can be made when feeling peckish! |
