DARTMOUTH HOUSE The students in Dartmouth House are Sixth Form pupils and are therefore here primarily to work hard and study! The House has recently purchased a new Play-station 3 with games and the house regularly holds competitions on the machines to see who is best and can be crowned champion.
Unfortunately Mr Taylor won the last event! The House has a piano which is regularly kept in tune and used daily by a number of students. Dartmouth has its own weights room - small, but enough to keep a growing young man in shape should they wish.
We can arrange trusted UK guardianship for international families.
