Evans

Upper School Boarding

Girls, Fourth Form-Upper Sixth

Evans House is a modern and purpose-built house, full of warmth, atmosphere and character. As a purpose-built house for 60 young women, the accommodation of 36 single rooms and 12 double rooms is of the highest quality. A communal kitchen, a kitchenette, spacious common rooms, foyer and outdoor patio area comprise the social areas. However, as in all the boarding houses, it is the quality of the pastoral care rather than the fixtures and fittings that provoke most comment from students and parents.

Four resident staff, some with their own young children, add enormously to the domestic atmosphere.

Throughout the year there are a large number of events organised for, and by, the girls including; a Christmas dinner, house party, bowling ,cinema and shopping trips, not to mention informal barbecues and parties in the Summer Term. All that and academic guidance and ad hoc revision sessions as well.

“Boarding makes you grow up a lot and gives you an advantage when you leave. You get to know everyone you live with so much better than anyone else. The Evans girls are like my sisters.”
