Boarding Houses

Our 100+ boarding children live in one of our three boarding houses: 

• Blackford - The Girls' Boarding House
• Lankester - The Junior Boys' Boarding House
• School House - The Senior Boys' Boarding House

Girls' Boarding : Blackford House, Years 3-8

The girls in Blackford are looked after by Mr and Mrs Forbes (Houseparents) assisted by their two matrons as well as our GAP / Graduate students who assist in the evenings and mornings and residential staff who are all part of the boarding team.  

Mr Forbes is Director of Boarding and teaches PE, he loves sport and the great outdoors whilst Mrs Forbes teaches English to the Upper School and enjoys the sunshine, beach trips, bbqs as well as the British Summer! Together they offer the girls in Blackford a nurturing, supportive environment where they can grow and develop (and have a lot of fun too!).

Boys' Boarding: School House and Lankester House, Years 3-8

Mr and Mrs Froggatt are responsible for the care of our boy boarders at Hazlegrove across both of the boys' boarding houses. They live in School House with the senior boys (Years 7 and 8) and are supported by Assistant Boys' Houseparent, Mr Atkinson who lives with his family in Lankester House (Years 3-6). Both houses have a team of matrons and GAP students as well as other resident members of staff.
