Life In Boarding

A home away from home.

Our stunning 110 acres of Grade I listed grounds offer the ideal setting in which to grow up.

Langley offers a home where our boarders can live and learn together, forge lifelong friendships and become part of a caring and supportive environment.

Our boarding family is made up of pupils and students who live locally, regionally in the UK and internationally.

Located just south of Norwich in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, Langley is a short 30-minute drive to Norwich International Airport, which flies direct to the international transport hub of Schiphol (a 40-minute flight). Langley also offers superb road with rail links to Stansted and London airports from the city of Norwich.

For ages 10–18, we are proud to offer a variety of boarding options. Whether a full-time or flexi boarder, pupils and students become part of the community from their first day at Langley thanks to our core pastoral team who offer excellent care and support in a settled environment, whilst encouraging increasing independence.

  • 24-hour care, seven days a week, fully catered, with laundry service throughout the week.

  • Typically Sunday to Friday, with flexibility on return times, our weekly boarding offers a full integration into the boarding experience.

  • Occasional boarding is ideal for busy parents and families who require care for their children for those times when they themselves are away from home.

  • Wrap-around care that provides breakfast, an evening meal and a supervised prep session.

Boarding Facilities

Our recently refurbished boarding facilities encourage our boarders to make their rooms their own space in which to relax, with pictures, ornaments and personal items from home.

Facilities in the boarding house include:

  • 110-acre grounds and woodland

  • Single, twin and triple rooms

  • Sports Hall and fully equipped gym

  • Floodlit Astroturf pitches

  • Mancroft – a café-style games room with pool, table tennis and board games

  • Brettingham – a social room including a large screen TV and games console

  • DVDs and board games

  • Library

  • Fully equipped kitchen and snack-making facilities exclusively for our boarders

  • Ballroom and Lawrence Room for use as study and meeting spaces

LEISURE TIME FOR BOARDERS

The boarding experience provides our pupils and students the opportunity to enjoy their time outside of the classroom, offering them the chance to try new experiences and activities. We offer an extensive programme of both indoor and outdoor activities on weekday evenings, as well as weekend trips.

Activities and visits range from excursions to the coast and cinema, to enjoying the Arts with trips to theatres, exhibitions, shows and recitals. Our boarders have use of a private swimming pool located a short distance from the boarding house, and we arrange a weekly trip to the local supermarket.

Our boarders are encouraged to continue their leisure pursuits outside of the school and are also free to utilise our excellent facilities on-site in the evenings and at weekends.

Boarding Principles

  • We aim to create a secure and happy environment in an atmosphere which is relaxed yet purposeful

  • We aim to create conditions in which the needs of the individual are recognised

  • We aim to encourage pupils and students to take increasing responsibility for themselves as they become older, taking responsibility for others too

  • We aim to create a community in which people are treated with respect, sensitivity and consideration
