The Senior School
The Senior School is located a five-minute walk away from the Prep and Pre-Prep campus. The campus covers a large area with classrooms, boarding houses and sports facilities all intermixed. The school fields teams in the following sports: rugby, cricket, squash, rowing, football, tennis, netball, hockey and swimming.
Students are separated into different houses; this is where both their prep rooms and common rooms are located. The Preparatory and Senior school houses each have around 300 to 400 pupils.With the exceptions of Collingwood House, a mixed house for day pupils, and Loosley, a mixed sixth form boarding house, the houses are single gender boarding houses. The school holds inter-house competitions, the most significant of which is the annual music competition. Other inter-house activities include drama, debating, public speaking, football, netball, hockey, and rugby.

Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or school:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
