The St. Ebbe’s and Pensons Gardens boarding houses each provide:

  • Supervision, support and care from house parents
  • Access to and support from the College Matron
  • Single, furnished bedroom with a private bathroom
  • Laundry facilities
  • Secure, electronic access
  • Separate boys/girls accommodation
  • Communal common room/kitchen areas
  • Breakfast and evening meals seven days a week
  • Communal space

The boarding houses are cleaned daily in the common areas and the students’ bedrooms are cleaned fortnightly. Clean bed sheets are provided weekly. There are also laundry facilities for the students to use: house parents will help the students with this until they feel confident in doing it themselves.

Security is a priority for us, and the boarding houses have CCTV cameras outside the front door and are staffed 24/7 by house parents. The house parents are highly trained in pastoral care and get to know the students very quickly, which aids the support and care they provide.

The regular and frequent communication between the College’s Senior Tutors and the house parents is excellent and provides everyone with an holistic picture of each student in our care. Each morning the boarding staff email the College with the student checks, which tell us which students have had breakfast or have left for College. Students that are unwell are identified and follow-up correspondence takes place throughout the day. At night, curfew checks also take place, and any students who are late are contacted

 

Support

The identification of the most appropriate accommodation for a student begins at the admissions interview. In addition, all students are offered on-going help with any problem relating to their accommodation: College staff will work together to make sure any issues are dealt with quickly and effectively.
