School House

School House was created in 1997 following the merger of Brook House and The Hall. The building in which the house is situated dates back to 1884 and is the western half of The Hall, overlooking the water known as The Old Trent. It is located within the Arch at the heart of the School, adjacent to the Old Priory building and near to the main teaching block. The House is home to approximately 75 boys aged from 13 to 18 and was extensively refurbished to a very high standard in the summer of 2009.

The younger boarders in B Block (Year 9) are accommodated in bedders of four and thereafter all boarders have bedsit accommodation in twos, threes or fours until the Lower Sixth Form, when they will either share with one other boy or enjoy a single room. In the Upper Sixth all boarders have their own rooms.
