Sexey's School - Boarding

Boarding

As of 2007, the school had around 300 boarders. Around two thirds of the school, and one third of sixth form are boarders. There are four boarding houses:

• Walwin House (formerly Junior House), two houses built in the late 1930s. Walwin used to accommodate year 7 boarders and has capacity for 49 children - 30 boys and 19 girls. It is now shut down because it was unstable, had an unequal amount of beds and was to far away from the school.
• Cliff House, a Grade II listed building built by Thomas Hannam in 1820 and opened as a boarding house in 1892. Cliff takes boarders in years 8, 9, and 10.
• Coombe House, opened 1983. Coombe has capacity for around 100 boarders in years 8, 9, and 10.
• Lisbury House, opened 1983, has around 85 boarders in years 11, 12 and 13. The majority of sixth form boarders live in Lisbury.
• MacMillian House, Opened 2011, is a new £3 Million Pound installation replacing Walwin. Its name is a tribute to Douglas MacMillian who went to the school and founded MacMillian Cancer Support.
