The Lodge

The Lodge opened in April 2007. The original farmhouse was extended during the 1980s. This new building resulted in a luxurious country residence constructed in the attractive local limestone. We have converted this to provide ample living accommodation for our Key Stage 2 & 3 pupils with a ‘homely’ feel. The Lodge faces the front of the school with views across formal gardens.

“This is the best home that I have ever lived in.”
— Learner, 2024

The students on The Lodge are older and more independent than those on The Bungalow but younger and without the freedoms afforded to older boys on the Loft and Crossroads house groups.

Some of the weekly activities available include:

  • Individual music lessons

  • Trampoline Club

  • Fishing

  • Swimming

  • Golf

  • Planet Bounce

  • Sports Hall sessions

  • Cinema trips

  • Rutland Water trips
