Does Beachborough Prep offer boarding?
Yes. Beachborough offers flexible boarding for children aged seven to 13 (Form III and above) in Kites, our on-site boarding house in the Manor House. Boarding is built around family life rather than as a replacement for it, so families can choose how often their child boards.
What types of boarding are available?
Beachborough offers three boarding options: Occasional Boarding (flexibly chosen nights to suit work commitments), Flexible Boarding (regular committed nights each week), and Weekly Boarding (Monday to Friday, home at weekends). Stays can be arranged months in advance or at short notice.
We also offer boarding on Friday evenings twice a term where the routine differs to allow ‘special’ activities to take place.
From what age can my child board at Beachborough Prep?
Children can board from Form III (age 7) upwards. New boarders receive a personalised guide and are paired with an experienced buddy to help them settle in during their first stays.
What is included in the boarding fee?
The boarding fee includes supper, breakfast, and all boarding activities. Combined with no daily commute, parents tell us this represents strong value for money, particularly for families travelling further than 20 minutes to school.
