Boarding

Braeburn Garden Estate offers weekly and full-time boarding for students in Years 9 and above. These options, in a newly, fully-refurbished and re-conceptualised boarding house, provide excellent choice to meet the needs of all families: a 'home away from home'. Students in weekly boarding arrive at school on Monday morning and stay through to Friday afternoon, thus avoiding the daily, and time consuming, routine of commuting. 

The school bus service and all meals & drinks are included in the boarding fees. Naturally, the full-time boarders avoid all such time on the road and have access to an exciting range of excursions and activities as well as structured prep time and activities on-site. Braeburn Garden Estate boarders reside in our main Treetops block, with rooming options catering for the different ages of our pupils - e.g. Year 9 typically sharing in 4-bed rooms up to IB students in 1-bed rooms - age appropriate and fit for purpose.

Boarding parents are also teaching staff, allowing for strong pastoral development and academic support, ensuring personal and educational development goals are fulfilled. There is a fully developed and structured 'prep time' routine giving pupils both support in their studies alongside the much needed independence and self-reliance that is necessary for later life. 

Treetops also has extensive, modern facilities designed to allow students to enjoy and maximise their time in boarding, including, internet provision for research, study and common areas, access to the school's tennis and squash courts, gym and sport hall and social outlets including DSTV for movie nights and general rest and relaxation.
