Preparing your child to thrive at Boarding School
Zoom Webinar
18 May 2021,
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Boarding schools offer a unique, life-changing, educational opportunity, but going to boarding school is a big step which can seem daunting for children and their parents.
This Parents Forum looks at how to prepare your child for boarding, helping with the transition from living at home to living at school and enjoying all the opportunities boarding has to offer.
Our panel will offer advice and helpful tips to help get your child off to a good start. Topics covered:
- Boarding explained - what it means and the options
- What preparation and support can you give?
- School support and pastoral care
- What to expect in the first year
For this panel we have brought together a hugely experienced panel, who collectively have introduced hundreds of children to boarding:
- Liz Hutchings, Head of Boarding, Junior King’s School, Canterbury
- Augusta Faulkner, Joint Head of Boarding, The Dragon School, Oxford
- Paul Curran, Deputy Head Pastoral, St Edmund's College
- Harry Cobb, Director, Bonas MacFarlane
This will be a Q&A with plenty of opportunities to get your questions about boarding answered.
