Boarding at Windlesham House is based on the following principles:

• We seek to develop the whole child during their time at the school – emotionally, spiritually, morally, academically, physically, culturally and socially. Building their confidence in a caring environment
• Children are taught to respect others and to treat them in the way they would wish to be treated themselves
• We believe that boarding develops the children’s ability to live and work with others and it strengthens their sense of self-reliance and independence
• We treat all children equally regardless of gender, disability, race, religion or belief (or lack of religion or belief) or special educational needs
• We provide excellent and continued communication with parents to develop an authentic and effective partnership between the school, parents and child.
• We aim to create a safe and secure environment at the school
• We believe that boarding helps to develop: confidence, community spirit, independence, social skills, cultural awareness, respect for others, self-motivation and responsibility
• We believe that boarders gain from boarding at Windlesham House in the following ways
  • They receive an enriched broad education
  • They have greater access to school facilities
  • They have a wide range of activities available
  • They learn to take risks in a safe and secure environment
• We believe our boarding houses should be
  • A place where children can grow into independent adults, able to cope with the ever-changing world; they will take on more responsibility as they get older
  • A place where all children are accepted for themselves; we want them to be kind and considerate of one another’s needs
  • A place where the children can mix with other students of similar ages, irrespective of race, religion, cultural and linguistic background
  • A place for children to have fun whilst maturing into caring adults
  • A place full of happy memories.
