Our Boarding Community
We have nearly 200 boarders, weekly and full, in 4 separate boarding houses each with its own atmosphere and team of caring, qualified residential staff supported by other teachers and domestic staff.
Bass, Carlsberg, Guinness and Gilbey Houses are named after companies which have sponsored the school.
Bass House
A friendly informal home for 7 to 12 year olds with structured after-school activities.
Guinness House
Boys aged from 12 to 16 years enjoy the lively environment of Guinness House with its wider range of after-school opportunities.
Carlsberg House
A relaxed and supportive home for girls aged 12 to 16 years old.
Gilbey House
Sixth Form students thrive in Gilbey House, organising their own time and leading the boarding community in the many inter-house games and competitions.
Principles and Practice of Boarding
Although each boarding house has its own style and characteristics they all conform to the LVS Principles and Practices of Boarding.
