Ten reasons to board at Ranby House

 

·                  All the comforts of home, and more!

 

·                 A dedicated team of House Parents and Tutors who have a wealth of experience and qualifications. A sense of humour too!

 

·                 Opportunities for fun and adventure: the school grounds and facilities make a wonderful playground.

 

·                 Structured activities such as cooking, dodge-ball, swimming, kite-flying and circus skills, are provided to complement  the full range of experiences provided during school time.

 

·                 Respect, courtesy and tolerance are developed by living together in a close community where the needs of others must be appreciated.

 

·                 Boarders are encouraged to identify their own strengths and weaknesses whilst building resilience, self-awareness and independence of thought.

 

·                 Life skills are learnt such as self-discipline, motivation, work ethic, punctuality and tidiness.

 

·                 Self esteem is promoted through a system of rewards designed to praise and encourage through certificates and prizes that all pupils are able to achieve.

 

·                 Involvement in the process of decision-making is facilitated by membership of discussion groups (forums), suggestion boxes and positions of responsibility for the seniors.

 

·                 Leadership skills are developed as older boarders take on duties, in return for privileges, and help guide and support younger boarders through our ‘Big Brother or Sister’ scheme.
