Prep Boarding

Children may start boarding from Year 5 in our homely Prep Boarding House, called Hamilton House. Children may opt to board for a couple of nights or choose our weekly or full boarding option. Hamilton House has the capacity for 60 boarders, with dedicated bedrooms and relaxation/recreation areas for boys and girls.

Our committed and caring team are all familiar faces for our boarding children. With their encouragement, children feel at home and contribute to house life through joining in, enjoying being with their friends, eating and sleeping well and learning to manage and organise themselves. All alongside working hard and making the most of all that is on offer.


Boarding Options:

  • Flexi: 1-4 nights
  • Weekly: 5 nights
  • Full: 7 nights

Boarding is very popular and does need to be booked in advance and committed to on a termly basis. However, it may be possible to board on the occasional night to support family commitments, so please do contact the boarding team if required.

Felsted Prep - Boarding Profiles

My room is really cosy and I like the furnishings that make it cute and pretty. I love it when all of my friends are here and we all get to stay in the same room.

I love the comfy beds, the delicious breakfast and being able to see my friends and share a room with them.
