FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

  • What meals will I eat?

    Our boarders enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, which they eat together in the college’s communal dining room. Our menu has been carefully crafted with wellbeing and physical health in mind, taking inspiration from different cuisines, and giving students a real home from home experience. This includes a creative lunch menu, which includes two main choices, as well as a street food-style option, sides, and dessert.

  • Will I share a room?

    Yes, most of our boarders share a room with another student. We do have some single bedrooms at Turing House, but these are limited.

  • What happens if I don’t get on with my roommate?

    We carefully match our students – based around shared interests and courses – to ensure everyone feels comfortable. If at any stage you’re unhappy, however, please let us know. Just speak to your Boarding House Parent or Strategy Tutor.

  • Do I have to leave the college over the holidays?

    Our boarding fees cover your accommodation during term time (including weekends) and enrichment weeks. Our houses are closed during the winter (Christmas), spring (Easter), and summer holidays.
