Living with friends in a ‘home from home’, supportive, busy and happy environment is a great way to stimulate your mind academically, maximise time to spend on your passions and encourage long-lasting friendships. Our highly experienced team care greatly and tailor the boarding experience for each individual girl.
At Queen Mary’s we have lots of age-appropriate, varied activities and opportunities both structured and spontaneous, you can enjoy trips, adventures, stargazing and themed evenings as well as canoeing, movie nights with hot chocolate or making pizzas.
Boarding also prepares you for the future as you gain in confidence and maturity whilst learning to become more self-reliant and independent.
A Home from Home
Our boarders live in the heart of Queen Mary’s School. As a magnificent 300 year old building, originally built as a family home, our dorms have period features alongside modern bathrooms and most have superb views across the 40 acres of gardens and grounds. We promote integration between year groups with vertical boarding. Within the building there are separate areas for prep and senior dorms and common rooms to ensure age-appropriate support and care can be provided.
Like everything at Queen Mary’s, our boarding provision is flexible to suit you and your family’s needs.
Full Boarding – You may stay at school seven nights a week during term times except for exeats.
Weekly Boarding – You may stay at school up to six nights a week (Sunday – Friday). Weekly boarders who do not have Saturday commitments may choose to go home on a Friday and all weekly boarders can choose to stay on a Sunday evening or come in to school on Monday morning for registration.
Flexi Boarding – You may stay for chosen nights on either a regular or ad hoc basis. This may be for a variety of reasons: perhaps to fit in with after school activities or because your parents may be away from home, or as an introduction to weekly/full boarding.
