Accommodation and care
Bosworth has 6 single sex supervised halls of residence that are both
comfortable and just a short walk from the College academic buildings.
Each hall has a range of single and shared bedrooms and a common room.
All meals are provided at the College restaurant which caters for a range of
dietary requirements and cultural tastes.
Living away from home in a new city or in many cases a foreign country
can be a worrying experience, so we have experienced and caring boarding
staff to ensure students are safe, secure, comfortable and well-looked after.
Being fully supervised, students have the security of knowing that an adult
is available at all times.
A school uniform is not required, but along with other rules regarding
behaviour we do have a ˇ§dress codeˇ¨ and some students choose to wear a
suit of their choice.
We issue school reports at the end of the first and second term and an end
of year letter in June. New students starting in September or January also
receive a letter at half-term.
