Vacancies in Boarding for 2019
Vacancies in More House boarding from January 2019
We would like to alert you to the availability in some areas of boarding where a few vacancies may emerge from January 2019. If you have considered boarding for your son before, or might be considering it as an option in the future, now is a good time to get in touch to see what the possibilities might be.
We can direct you to the Boarding part of the school website for further details, and our Boarding video entitled 'Transform' which gives a small flavour of what we offer; however, it is always good to find out for yourselves by visiting us, or speaking with the parents of our 100+ boarders who will give you so much more of what the residential provision has done for their sons.
What does Boarding add?
For all years:
-
A reduction on time wasted through commuting - boarders are often less tired than some of their day boy friends because of this. More time to relax - more time to study!

A dedicated housemaster/mistress supporting your son’s development and growth
-
Development of social interaction, social confidence, friendship groups proven to last for years after leaving MHS
-
Growth in independence
-
Learning to live within a shared community with a strong sense of camaraderie
-
Immediate access to the on-site facilities

A rich programme of extra-curricular opportunities beyond the normal school day and after-school clubs

"Due to his medical condition he tires easily and boarding obviously has helped alleviate this hugely with reducing travel times
