Flexi-Boarding

Flexi-boarding is where you can pre-select the specific night(s) each week to Board across an entire term – this can be just one night or up to four nights. Regular Flexi-Boarding guarantees your child the same Boarding House bed.

Boarding to Suit Your
Family Life

Wycliffe understand that every family has different needs,  which is why we offer a range of Boarding options including Full Boarding, Day Boarding and Flexi-Boarding*. Whether you require a safe place for your child to stay on one-off occasional nights or Flexi-Boarding for one to four nights a week, Wycliffe can cater to all requirements. Flexi-Boarding proves to be popular with parents with a busy working life or who may work away, or if pupils take part in additional extra-curricular activities in the evening.

Staff are around 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can feel confident that your children are supported and in safe hands.

Boarding Houses for Girls and Boys

Boarding is available for both boys and girls across a number of Boarding Houses. Our Prep School offers two Boarding Houses: Pennwood, the boys’ House with 35 boys, and Windrush, the girls’ House with 30 girls. Our small Houses offer a sense of community and belonging for our Boarders.

In the Senior School, there are three boys’ Houses: Ward’s House, Robinson House and Haywardsfield; and three girls’ Houses: Ivy Grove, Lampeter and Haywardsend. Loosley Halls is our Sixth Form House for boys and girls in Years 12 and 13, and Collingwood is our co-educational House for Day Pupils. Each House in the Senior School has its own personality and spirit.

As a parent of an International pupil, I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the Wycliffe Community. Wycliffe provides a safe, nurturing and structured environment all while setting exceptional academic standards. Wycliffe is keenly aware of the individual potential for your child and creates goals to support an outstanding future for students. Even though I am thousands of miles away, I feel connected to my child and all at Wycliffe College.

Excellent Pastoral Care for Boarders

Ensuring your child is happy and supported during their time at Wycliffe is very important and is why Wycliffe are passionate about well-being and mental health. The relationship between Boarders and staff at Wycliffe is very strong with pupils able to talk to tutors, Matrons, Heads of Houses and Boarding Housemaster/Mistresses about any issues they may have. At Wycliffe, we focus on a number of things to help children with their mental and physical well-being including physical health through learning and doing, healthy eating and exercise, good sleeping habits and teaching techniques to build self-esteem and confidence, and how to deal with stress.
