Boarding at Perrott Hill

Perrott Hill is more than just a place to stay – it’s a warm, welcoming environment where children feel at home. With a dedicated team and a strong family ethos, we ensure every boarder feels supported, happy, and confident. As a former boarder myself, I know just how valuable the experience can be. Boarding nurtures confidence, resilience, and independence, preparing children for senior school and beyond. It’s a fantastic way to develop lifelong friendships, embrace new opportunities, and enjoy a supportive, structured environment where every child can thrive

The Boarding Experience

We believe in creating a fun, fulfilling experience for all our boarders. That’s why we run an exciting programme of activities throughout the week, from sports and creative arts to film nights and team challenges. Evenings offer a mix of structured fun and downtime.
For our full boarders (Year 5 and above), our weekend activity programme ensures there’s always something to look forward to, whether it’s a trip out, a themed event, or a new challenge on site.

In addition, we offer a range of flexible boarding options, including weekly, regular, and flexi-boarding for anyone in Year 3 and above. We also run termly Boarding Activity Nights, so all pupils can get a taste of what boarding is all about.

Accommodation

With dedicated accommodation, common rooms, and facilities for girls and boys, plus plenty of shared activities where they come together, our boarding community is a vibrant and inclusive place to be. We welcome children from across the UK and beyond, and currently care for boarders from countries including Spain, Nigeria, America, and China.

Award-winning

We have also been nationally recognised, having won the Belonging and Inclusion Initiative Award from the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) in 2024, as well as accolades for Outstanding Pastoral Care and Most Inclusive Prep School.

If you’re considering boarding, we would love to show you around and answer any questions you may have. To arrange a visit, contact our Admissions Registrar, Emma Picken, on 01460 72051 or epicken@perrotthill.com.
