Welcome to Kites, the boarding house at Beachborough School – a nurturing environment where children aged 7 to 13 experience the best of both worlds: the warmth of home and the excitement of school life. Situated in the heart of the UK, our boarding provision offers flexibility, community, and a wealth of opportunities for personal growth.
Why Choose Boarding at Beachborough?
As parents, we all worry about our work-life balance and the perceived lack of ‘quality time’ with our children. Boarding at Beachborough can help give parents and children the best of both worlds. Here are some of the reasons our parents have told us why boarding at Beachborough works for their family:
- Quality family time
Boarding removes the pressure of juggling my children’s different activities and Prep each evening, enabling the time we spend as a family at home to become real quality time. - Children of different ages
With children of different ages, I prefer my eldest child to board so I don’t have to take my 5-year-old out again for the 6.45pm pickup – especially in the winter! - Value for money
As the boarding fee includes laundry, supper, breakfast and boarding activities and with the cost of my fuel as we live 30 minutes from school, I find it great value for money for my son to board several nights each week. - No daily commute
Our work commitments can make it difficult getting our children to and from school each day so we find it easier for our children to stay at Beachborough for a sleepover at school to enjoy the fun boarding activities instead – especially if we have a particularly early morning start!
Flexible Boarding Options
Understanding that each family has unique requirements, Beachborough Prep offers several boarding arrangements.
- Occasional Boarding: Ideal for parents with varying work commitments, this option allows flexibility in choosing boarding nights.
- Flexible Boarding: Children commit to regular boarding nights each week, fostering routine and camaraderie with peers.
- Weekly Boarding: Pupils enjoy weekday boarding, participating in social activities from Monday to Friday, and reunite with family over weekends.
Boarding is available for students in Form III and above, with the flexibility to arrange stays in advance or at short notice.
