Bamfylde House

Girls Senior Boarding 11-16

Bamfylde House, situated on the main campus, offers accommodation for girls aged 11 to 16. Conveniently located a short stroll from the main academic buildings, the house can host up to 38 boarders. These students are under the watchful and caring eyes of dedicated Houseparents, who reside adjacent to the house. On duty from early evening to the following morning, they ensure the well-being and safety of each student. We take pride in welcoming pupils from around the world alongside our UK boarders, fostering a vibrant and diverse boarding community where different cultures converge and lasting friendships are forged.

Bamfylde accommodates girls aged 11 to 16 ( Years 7 to 11), with a total capacity of 34 full-time boarders. We prioritise creating a homely atmosphere for all our students.

Rooms: Girls typically share rooms accommodating 2 to 4 students. It is rare for us to place more than 4 girls in a room, except for Years 7, 8, or 9, or for short-term stays. Students in Years 10 and 11 exclusively have rooms for 2, 3, or 4 girls.

Storage: Each girl is provided with a minimum of half a wardrobe and two drawers, though we advise students not to overpack.

Shared facilities: Each bathroom is designed for up to 10 girls and equipped with 4 sinks, 3 showers, and 3 toilet cubicles. All girls share a kitchenette and a common area used for socialising, board games and movie nights.

Activities: Outside of school hours, girls have numerous activities to participate in. Weekend basketball and volleyball tournaments on campus are particularly popular, as is the Saturday shopping excursion to Barnstaple. Moreover, they can take part in weekend trips to nearby attractions or explore cities such as London, Exeter, or Cardiff. Activities such as horse riding, surfing, coasteering, pottery making, kayaking, and paintballing are favourites during the spring term.
