Boarding lies at the heart of our school, building a unique sense of community and enhancing much of what makes Casterton, Sedbergh Prep an outstanding place to learn. The boarding houses play a key role in developing the school’s strong sense of family values, encouraging our children to harmoniously live and work together, build friendships and develop their independence. The boarding community is diverse, with a healthy mix of different nationalities, personalities and boys and girls.
Outside of the School day, our boarders’ time is productive, with supervised homework and a wide range of activities offered every evening, for all interests, from art to Zumba and much in between. To exercise boarders’ minds, a series of house lectures are run each year. Recently we have enjoyed talks by Alastair Hignell (Rugby International, Cricketer and former BBC Rugby commentator); Mike Hurst (‘The Springfields’ and Music Producer) and Anne Fine (former Children’s Laureate and award winning novelist) to name but a few.
