 The boarding community is at the very heart of Cranbrook life, giving the school its special flavour.
Over a third of the school's 700 pupils board and we aim to make the boarding experience safe, secure, purposeful and fun! Each of the six boarding houses is run by a Housemaster or Housemistress with an experienced team of staff who care for our boarders. The boarding house is their term-time home and we place a very high value on trust and respect for each individual in our community.
We have five senior houses, two girls', Blubery and Scott, and three boys', Cornwallis, Rammell and Crowden. In addition, School Lodge is the junior boys' house accommodating our 13+ entry for one settling-in year. The six houses are complemented by the six day houses to provide an excellent integrated structure of boarding and day.
Increasingly, accommodation is in single study bedrooms and in small dormitories for the younger boarders, with generous common rooms and quiet rooms as well. There is a fully equipped Medical Centre run by the Sister, who is a State Registered Nurse, and it is visited regularly by the School Doctor.
There is always someone in the boarding house throughout the day, usually the House MAC, to look after pupils at any time. Boarders do their prep in Houses, but eat centrally. The school takes care to provide a friendly atmosphere in its houses and to create the right resources for both study and leisure.
