FOR BOARDERS
About boarding
Overview
Heathfield’s Boarding Camp promises a great deal of fun for everyone. The combination of great activities on our social programme and living with other girls from Britain and from overseas provides the chance for campers to sample boarding school life.
All boarding summer camp girls attend the normal summer camp days and then join our international students for the evenings. If they’ve chosen to stay for longer than one week, they will then join in on our fun weekend activities as well!
The younger girls have shared rooms. Older girls, from the age of 11 or 12, sleep in single rooms with wash basins.
In the boarding houses girls are looked after by our Senior Housemother and a team of pastoral staff, all of whom sleep near the girls.
