Kirby House has a dedicated and caring pastoral and academic team of tutors who aim to bring out the best in every pupil.
The building boasts some of the best boarding accommodation in the country with 10 dormitories, each with five beds and en-suite facilities. There are six classrooms, a large atrium, an IT room, a virtual and traditional library, plus two spacious flats for resident staff. Kirby House is a very special place – visit us and see for yourself!
Kirby House welcomes boarders from 7 to 13 years old into its modern, spacious dormitories. The youngest members of the boarding house (Years 3 to 6) are looked after by the Junior Housemother, and the older children (Years 7 and 8) by the Kirby Housemaster. Children have plenty of space to call their own, and can personalise that space to make it feel just like home. Despite being bright, light and airy the dormitories are cosy and warm, providing a wonderful place of relaxation and rest.
A dedicated social area offers many opportunities for fun in the evenings and at weekends. Boarders also enjoy using the Sports Centre and Swimming Pool, along with regular trips into town. They are never short of friends, and mobile phone contact and regular ‘exeat’ weekends mean that parents never feel far away.
