Introduction to boarding
St Teresa's offers first class boarding facilities
with around a third of the girls at St Teresa's choosing
to board on a weekly or termly basis. Younger girls
accommodated in bright attractive rooms sharing perhaps
with up to 5 other girls, while older girls have their
own study bedrooms. Each year has its own Common Room
with television and video recorder. There is a newly
equipped games room with digital television, a pool table
and table tennis table.
A resident Matron is responsible for the girls' physical
welfare and a General Practitioner visits the school
every week.
A programme of activities and trips are arranged for
the boarders in the evening and at weekends.
The Boarding facility is open throughout the school
year during term time including every weekend.

Many
of the day girls choose to take up the occasional boarding option.
This allows them to stay overnight or during the weekend when parents
have commitments or the girls themselves have late clubs or activities.
Since its launch this has proved a very popular facility for the
girls, who can enjoy the boarding activities, and for their parents
who know their daughter is in safe hands.
