Cooper (Senior House)

Cooper House is our Senior Boarding house providing a home for our day students, mid-week, weekly and full boarders from Third to Fifth Year.

At the heart of Cooper House is the common room, known as the Sitm where students gather for biscuits at break, house meetings and other evening activities such as dance and sing-alongs with the Wii. There is also a fully equipped Games Room, where students challenge each other to table tennis. All students have the use of the dining hall in the evening, where they chat over tea and toast until bedtime.

With ample space and a strong sense of community, Cooper House fosters connections among students; dorms are rotated each term to encourage everyone to get to know one another.  Fifth year students enjoy single, double and triple study rooms, with some opting for popular en-suite accomodations.  Many choose weekly boarding as they prepare for GCSE exams, making the most of their revision time in a supportive environment.

Students are cared for by a dedicated team of house staff – led by Vicky Wilson (Housemistress) The team is a steady presence in the house and most evenings, the house office buzzes with students hanging out, cheking in electronics or raiding the ‘Cupboard of Love’, home of biscuits and popcorn.
