Boarding

Boarders at Myddelton College are part of a large family community; we encourage a sense of belonging and a feeling of personal fulfilment in a happy, stable, caring and friendly environment. Whilst the academic side of things is a high priority, we want all students to fully participate in a wide variety of sporting, cultural and leisure activities.

There are two boarding houses at Myddelton College. We have St. George’s House and Stanley’s House. St. George’s is our Junior boarding house and is for our students aged 11 – 16. Stanley’s House is our senior boarding house and is for our students aged 15-18.

Each boarding house has a residential houseparent, who is supported by an assistant residential houseparent who helps support our boarders with all of their daily needs.
