Boarding at King's Hall
The Boarding House at King's Hall offers a warm and friendly home-from-home environment, complete with lovable house pooch, Snoops. It is split into three separate areas: Senior Boys, Junior Boys and Junior Girls. Each area allows the children to enjoy their space in the company of their friends, and to develop at their own pace. We recognise that all children are different and the pace of this process is unique to every child; however, in this environment everyone will find their own pace and develop with confidence to realise their potential.
Developing Independence
Within the house we aim to give every child the opportunity to move through the stages of developing independence. Younger boarders often need more of a helping hand, but soon grow in confidence and start to develop a sense of independence. In their final years of boarding, the children have acquired all the necessary skills to be self-sufficient in the house. Whatever style of boarding you decide on, you can rest assured that your children will enjoy a happy, family environment with plenty of friends and caring staff.
Boarding Options
For children who are not ready to go into full boarding, flexi boarding is available – both of these options come with a variety of benefits. In addition, twice termly year group boarding nights are available for Years 3-8, as well as popular ‘Movie Nights*’, to which all children in the prep school are invited. These run every half-term and are a great way to share an evening of fun and food. Casual boarding is also available.
Full Boarding
Boarding is an important part of life at King’s Hall, with a variety of options to suit all pupils and parents. There is a strong family ethos within the Boarding House, which ensures that our full-time boarders are fully supported throughout their time with us. Full boarding is a popular choice with many parents recognising the benefits, be it due to busy work lives, military links or simply because full boarding helps children to become considerate and independent individuals, within a supportive environment.
Outdoor Enrichment
Our full-time boarders are able to take advantage of our beautiful setting, with plenty of opportunities to visit the woods, enjoy barbecues, go tree climbing, and even embark on exciting scavenger hunts, not to mention caring for the resident menagerie of chickens and rabbits! Our outdoor swimming pool also offers a wonderful extension to the boarding experience. As well and the fabulous range of ‘in-house’ activities, boarders are taken on a selection of trips to places such as Crealy, Hestercombe Gardens, and Splashdown Quaywest.
