Boarding Fees

What is Weekly Boarding?

Weekly boarding is on the rise, and is perfect for pupils who live further away or have parents with busy schedules. Boarders head home Friday evening, returning Monday morning. It’s the best of both worlds: weekdays are packed with school activities and time with friends, while weekends offer quality family time. Parents enjoy weekly boarding too, as it means less nagging about homework or mornings, and they are still attend school events like sports matches or concerts. One parent of a boarder at Longridge says their family enjoys “the best of both worlds,” with a full family weekend thanks to no Saturday school.

What is Flexi Boarding?
