Prep Boarding
Children may start boarding from Year 5 in our homely, awarding-winning 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.
The Hamilton House team is made up of the House Parent, Assistant House Parent, Matron and support staff.

Helps to prepare for boarding life in the senior school
“We were impressed by the way topics such as diversity and inclusion as well as sustainability were woven right through the school and not just stand-alone programmes or initiatives. The school is also bucking the trend with their incredible over-subscription for admissions: this is clearly a fantastic school that people want to send their children to.”
Pupil Wellbeing
Felsted’s holistic approach to wellbeing is to support and promote the good physical and mental health of all those in our community.
A massive support network underpins our care for each child, which includes a house parent, tutor, teachers, matron, chaplain, peer counsellors, house and school prefects.
Accredited Sleep Champions
As a school we recognise the important role sleep plays in a child's health, wellbeing and learning. After an audit from the Boarding School's Association (BSA) of the school's facilities and bedtime routines, Felsted has been awards 'Sleep Champion' status.
All Aboard - Cambridge Edition Feature
