Boarding is an important part of each child’s personal development and the children appreciate the great benefits of boarding, especially in encouraging social development.
One of the greatest benefits of boarding school life, is the continuity of education that takes place both in and out of the classroom. The close integration between academic and extra-curricular studies, makes it possible to create a balance difficult to achieve in any other system. From the outset, we strive to sow the seeds of self-discipline within a framework of fair and sensible rules. For the Pre-Prep children, the boarding community in the Prep School shows what a strong family atmosphere there is at Cottesmore and also gives the young children something to look forward to and aspire to when they reach Prep school age.
