Housing
Four boarding houses with family-style landings, study bedrooms and houseparents who know every child by nickname.
A second home
Life in the Hollow
School days end; Hollow life continues. Boarders and day pupils share dining halls, the library commons, sixty societies and a calendar of concerts, matches and service weekends. It is busy, warm and — parents tell us — the reason their children never want to leave.
Pastoral care runs through it all: every pupil belongs to a house, every house has a family team, and no child is ever unknown.
Campus services
Everything looks after you
Food services
Three hot meals a day from our own kitchens, with nutritionists, allergen care and a legendary Friday bake.
Library
Open 7am to 10pm with silent floors, group studios and librarians who run reading quests each term.
Campus safety
Gated grounds, a 24-hour care team and a pupil guardian scheme mean help is never more than a minute away.
Financial aid
Bursaries to full fees, travel grants and a quiet uniform exchange keep the Hollow open to all.
Accessibility
Step-free routes, learning support studios and assistive technology as standard, not as exception.
Societies & weekends
Sixty ways to belong
Debating, robotics, beekeeping, chamber choir, mountain club — if it is not offered, pupils may found it with a teacher’s blessing and a start-up grant. Weekends bring fixtures, concerts, service projects and the beloved house quiz.
