Boarding Life

Boarding is central to the ethos of the College and the strong Bishopstrow College community provides a home-from-home in a beautiful, calm setting.

Boarding at Bishopstrow offers a happy and vibrant family environment. Our boarding team’s top priority is to ensure that our students are happy, healthy and well cared for. We encourage our students to learn to study and socialise together and to live their lives to their full potential, academically, socially and physically. The safe and nurturing environment allows a sense of independence to flourish.

Our Principal, Head of Boarding and Deputy Head of Boarding also live on site, as well as the residential house staff who provide outstanding medical help and care if ever needed. This is complemented by full medical support from the local doctor’s surgery and by healthy and nutritious meal choices from our on-site chefs.

To support our EFL learners, our students will share rooms with students from a mix of diverse nationalities and native languages, which supports the encouragement of using spoken English in a relaxed setting and building friendships from across the globe.
