About the school

Art Boarding School Facilities 
Theatre, Media Studies, Art and Music are offered along with outstanding facilities, including the largest and most professional Theatre department of any boarding school in the country.

Music technology is taken onto another level with four purpose-built, digital 16-track recording studios equipped to professional standards, a fully equipped MIDI composition and editing suite with a Dolby digital surround sound system, and a school radio station, all available for students to develop their skills and creativity including elaborately staged concerts, musical showcases and music writing

Boarding School Facilities

As a fully boarding school, the first concern is to provide students with a safe, structured, caring and happy community, a home from home. Students live in one of five country houses or their lodges, some of which are on the campus and some nearby. All of the working day is spent on campus and you are transported back to your House after supper every evening by the House staff.

You will have a study bedroom which is normally shared with one other student, although there are some singles for second year students. There are also kitchen facilities in every house for toast, pot noodles, tea and coffee etc, games rooms and communal TV rooms. You may also bring your own TV, video or DVD. All houses have internet access and a wireless LAN.
