Boarding at Wymondham College Prep School offers children a truly enriched and holistic education, developing the whole child socially, emotionally and academically. We want to support busy, modern working families in pursuit of their ambitions.

Our cosy, nurturing boarding house, Underwood Hall really is a home from home. Opened in 2020, Underwood Hall is clean and fresh, designed specifically with our younger boarders in mind. The house team, which includes Mr Timmins, Mrs Trigg, Mrs Sutcliffe and Mrs Greenwood, are experienced, passionate and committed. Boarders are looked after with love and care tailored to that child and there is always someone at hand to listen and to laugh with. Staff have close links with the boarders' Year 5 and Year 6 Class Teachers, with each boarder’s day and boarding experience approached as a whole, and with the individual child at the centre. It is in boarding that the richest of relationships can develop.

Our kitchen is the central hub where the children enjoy breakfast, essential evening snacks and lots of fun. The house has a range of communal spaces enabling the boarders to bond together over a favourite film in the common room or relax in the snug for a cosy chat, board game or book. Bedrooms, which we call dorms, are cosy and clean, shared with a small group of friends. Underwood Hall is our boarders’ home, so getting the right balance between work, play and relaxation is vital. In the evenings the children are given plenty of time to relax and simply be with their friends, while activities are organised across the week. Each boarder is given 15 minutes reading time before lights out to help them unwind after the busy day. The weekend is filled with our special themed events, activities, games, competitions, all sorts of outings and opportunities to do something different, making best use of our countryside location. Examples include Bake-Off, MasterChef and Talent Shows. There is no time to get bored!
