With twin and single rooms available for students from years 7 to 12 and en-suite facilities available in some rooms, the life of a Myddelton boarder is built on the essential qualities of comfort and ease for all of our students. Communication between students, parents and boarding staff is the most important aspect of your child’s time at the college, and multiple channels of communication will be available for both parents and students to use. With separate lodgings for each school group, the boarding community at Myddelton allows students to make friends within their year groups but also amongst other years, dispelling any concerns parents may have and encourages friendships throughout the boarding family regardless of age.

The boarding house is the ideal home from home for students and will instantly put parents’ minds at ease.
