"Relationships between boarders and house staff and amongst boarders themselves are excellent" - ISI Report November 2009
Edge Grove has a long history of boarding and the holistic atmosphere of the school is greatly influenced by this aspect of the community. Boarding is available to all pupils (from the UK and Overseas) on a full, weekly or flexi basis. The ethos of the school is one of inclusion and support for boarders: they are housed in the original building of the school in dormitories organised by age. The Headmaster lives in the main building as do the Housemistress, Housemaster and the Gap students, all of whom work to maintain the smooth running of the boarding community and to enhance the quality of life of the pupils whilst they are in school.
Pastoral care is the highest priority for all boarders and there are close links between the pastoral team in the house and the form tutor teams. The school also has an ‘independent listener’ who visits the boarders on a regular basis and is contactable at any time.
All pupils may apply for boarding places and beds are offered on a first come first served basis, with priority given to weekly and full boarding.
