Our flexible boarding model gives families the freedom to choose what works best for them. Boys can head home for the weekend or stay on campus and enjoy a full programme of sport, activities and downtime with mates.
During the week, all boarders benefit from additional sporting, cultural and academic opportunities, along with the support of staff who live on campus.

Residences are grounded by age, with care and independence growing as the boys do.
Residences are all on-site and are grouped by age. The youngest boys live close to the College centre; older boys enjoy greater independence in senior residences.
Our Housemasters are mostly classroom teachers, so they understand the boys' daily responsibilities and academic pressures. Most live on campus, offering steady support and genuine relationships built through time, attention to detail and care.
Boarding is a brotherhood rich in traditions. Staff and students build relationships of goodwill, trust and respect, and boys develop strong bonds and lifelong friendships that stay with them well beyond their school years.

Answers to the questions families ask most about boarding life.
At Lindisfarne College, boarding accommodation is structured to support students' growth and development. As boys get older, they are gradually afforded greater privacy and independence in their living arrangements, reflecting their increasing maturity and responsibility.
At Lindisfarne College, weekends offer flexibility for boarders and their families. Students may choose to remain in the boarding house and participate in weekend activities, sports, and events, or they may return home if desired. All leave requests must be submitted and approved through the Orah leave management system, ensuring clear communication between parents, students, and boarding staff.
Academic support for boarders at Lindisfarne College centres on a structured nightly prep (supervised homework) session. During this time, students have direct access to on-duty boarding staff, senior peers, and resident Housemasters and Assistant Housemasters, most of whom are full-time classroom teachers.
