St Edmund's

Boarding

Welcome

Discover the unique experience of boarding at St Edmund’s, where independence and meaningful friendships are at the forefront of school life.

Our five boarding houses provide an environment for students to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Boarding helps develop essential skills like leadership, teamwork, and tolerance—qualities we emphasize throughout the school community.

Whether you stay weekly, full-time, or just for a night, St Edmund’s offers a welcoming space committed to everyone’s success and wellbeing. Our house system fosters close interactions between boarders and day pupils, promoting connections based on trust and respect.

With homely and inviting atmosphere  in Choir House near the Cathedral and in Owen, New Wing, Baker, and School House, students enjoy a supportive and enriching atmosphere. Join us at St Edmund’s for an experience that will shape your personal and academic journey.

Boarding school is an unforgettable adventure that I wholeheartedly recommend. It’s a place to create lasting memories and friendships, with never a dull moment. The support system from teachers and friends is invaluable, helping us grow and motivate each other. Being part of this community has shaped me into a better person, and I truly believe it’s been the best experience of my life. The friendships I’ve made feel like family, and I’m confident they will last a lifetime. Clara, International Boarder
