“Boarders will be thrilled – the brand-new, larch-clad boarding block is the smartest I’ve seen, with modern, private en-suite rooms for each pupil. The boarding block is on two floors, with boys upstairs and girls down. Each floor has its own well-equipped common room where girls and boys can mingle.”
