Hallows is fun as we want our children to be happy whilst feeling safe! It is based on a family model with two sets of houseparents looking after around 30 children, delivering a high standard of pastoral care. Flexi-boarding is hugely popular with our day pupils and this acts as a great aid to forming friendships and to integrating our international boarders into the whole school community.
All of our boarders live in the main school house (a traditional manor house steeped in history) which promotes a warm feeling of family and togetherness between pupils and staff alike. Resident Houseparents, medically-qualified nursing staff and GAP assistants work collaboratively as a strong and talented team alongside the Deputy Head.
A genuine home away from home
All pupils at All Hallows are welcomed into a stunning manor house within magnificently rolling estate grounds with all the comforts of home, facilities galore, dedicated, professional and caring staff and a vast array of opportunities. All of our boarders live in the main school house.
This promotes a warm feeling of family and togetherness between pupils and staff alike. There is a girls' landing and a boys' landing and different dormitories within each so children are grouped according to age and friendship . There are open fires, a great main staircase off the hall and comfortable relaxation spaces.
We can arrange trusted UK guardianship for international families.
