The genuine feeling of community is tangible and there is no doubt that the Christian values, boarding ethos, all-through nature of the School and focus on the individual contribute to a feeling of care and compassion that permeates every corner of the campus. Strong pastoral care, high-quality teaching, and a great emphasis on extracurricular activity make this a very special community in which to live and learn.
The Second Half Foundation (Reg. 1141988) was created in May 2011 with the mission of tackling loneliness and isolation for any person over the age of 50 years old.
