Cooper (Senior House)

Cooper House, Senior Boarding House

Copper House is our Senior Boarding house and accommodates our day Students, mid-week, weekly and full boarders from Third to Fifth Year.

The heart of the house is the common room, known as the Sit and this is where students congregate 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.

There is plenty of space and opportunity for everyone to share and get to know one another: everyone changes dorm each term. The Fifth Year are accommodated in single, double and triple studies, the most popular with their own en-suite bathrooms. Many choose to board weekly in the run up to the GCSE exams as they make the most of every minute of revision time.

Students are cared for by a team of house staff – led by Vicky Wilson (Housemistress) and Resident Tutors Chelsea Nasmyth-Miller & Katherine Ingram. The team maintain a constant presence in the house and, most evenings, the house office can be filled to the brim with students hanging out, handing in their electronics and raiding the ‘Cupboard of Love’, home of biscuits and popcorn.
