Boarding Prep School in Suffolk, UK
Moreton Hall Prep School:
Located in Bury St Edmunds in the south-east of England, Moreton Hall Prep School is a co-educational, private, junior school for boys and girls from Nursery through to Prep school (ages 3-13), offering boarding (ages 8-13) and day facilities (ages 3-13). Our small school size but spacious surroundings allow us to look after each boy or girl as an individual in an environment they find both understanding and supportive. We have a well-established boarding community of boys and girls.
Boarding At Moreton Hall:
- We have a well-established boarding facility for boys and girls (ages 7-13). We also offer an overseas boarding programme for our overseas students. Boarding may be ‘full', “weekly” or on a “flexible” nightly basis. At Moreton Hall, boarding is run very much as an extended family. The headmaster and his wife oversee the boarding house, which is situated in the heart of the main school building. A dedicated team of two matrons and resident gap students supports the headmaster.
- Full-time usually means living at school during the week and at weekends with visits home at exeat weekends and holidays. Weekly boarding means that you spend all week from Sunday to Thursday night inclusive at school. Flexi-boarding or “occasional boarding” may mean that you stay at school one or two nights a week. Many of our boarders have achieved 13+ scholarships.
- Our Boarders develop close friends, and have unparalleled opportunities for sporting, cultural and leisure activities at their well-resourced school in beautiful Suffolk countryside. They learn to be tidy, organised and self-sufficient. Children are encouraged to be independent and use their initiative. We aim to ensure that a balanced programme is reached so that the Boarders are well-rounded individuals who can approach their senior schools with confidence.
Prep School Programmes:
- The Prep School is formed of Years 3 through to 8 (and we call them Transition, then Forms 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8). Transition and Form 4 still follow a class teacher model, with one teacher delivering the lion's share of the lessons.
- Whilst this consistency is maintained, the children also start to meet specialist staff as part of their routine. From Form 5 the focus shifts wholeheartedly to a subject taught model, with the boys and girls now receiving their lessons from a full spread of our staff in a sensibly paced run-up towards their Entrance examinations at the end of Form 8. We also offer Nursery School and Pre-Prep School facilities.
Our Religious Identity:
Our religious identity endorses the key values of not only right and wrong, but forgiveness too. Exploring depends on being prepared to get lost sometimes, but having the courage not to stay that way. Whilst Catholicism offers Moreton Hall its compass, we are a community of more than one faith and a common purpose.
