Situated within the grounds of The Prep School, Golspie House is a small and very friendly boarding house accommodating up to 25 girls and boys in years 3 to 6. The pupils enjoy modern facilities with all the comforts of home.

Facilities within the school grounds are put to full use at the end of a hard day in the classroom. Swimming in the summer, collecting conkers in the autumn and wrapping up warm to play outside in the winter are all part and parcel of life in and around Golspie House.

The boarding experience supplements the school ethos of developing confidence providing opportunity and realizing potential. It is based on mutual respect and a high level of communication between the school and the parents.

Boarding in the Prep School is an enjoyable experience not only for the children but also for parents and staff. At weekends the pupils have plenty of time to relax, catch up on prep and enjoy a variety of trips to adventure playgrounds, theme parks and other age specific activities.
