Daily Routine

During the day

We eat breakfast in house and can choose from cereals, toast, yogurts, fruit juice and fruit with pains au chocolat or other treats on Fridays.

After tidying their rooms and making beds everyone walks the five minutes down the road to school. We like being so near to school but at the same time being a place where we can come “home” in the evenings.

At the end of the school day when clubs and prep (homework) are finished we walk back to the house where our friendly cook has prepared a delicious home cooked meal. We eat together in our homely dining room and take it in turns to help with the clearing away and stacking the dishwasher.

Weekends

We have a number of full boarders who are with us at weekends and it is important to us that these boarder have opportunities to work, rest and play in the same way they might at home.

Friday night is a chilled time with movies and board games to relax with after a busy week.

On Saturdays we always have an exciting and interesting activity planned. Some of our weekly boarders also choose to stay in order to join in with these trips and visits. If there is space, boarders can invite a school friend to join us.

We can also arrange for Rookwood friends to come for sleepovers, or for boarders to spend time with friends if their parents agree.

Some Boarders are members of local sports teams and we can arrange for them to play for their teams at weekends as well as attend weeknight practices.
