Top-quality environment
Investment in quality also very much applies to the boarding environment. We have invested millions in ensuring that boarding facilities at Chapter House are amongst the very best in Europe. Our boarding houses mirror family homes; indeed, as one parent told us,

'My son's bedroom at school is much better than his room at home'

Quality of meals and personal privacy are also areas that we believe are very important.

In an uncertain world, where traditional values become less and less obvious to children, where people are worried about their children's personal safety and where there is never enough time to do all the things one would want to do with ones children it is reassuring to find a solution that works very well indeed.

In the last 3 years alone the number of young children boarding with us has risen by over 80%.

In preparing this section on boarding we would like to acknowledge Adrian Underwood. Adrian Underwood is the National Director of the Boarding Schools' Association. As an ISI Inspector, he regularly inspects boarding schools, and as part of his national role he visits 60 boarding schools a year.
