Flexi-boarding

What is flexi-boarding?

This basically means that a school accepts "part-time" boarders. Most boarding schools offer parents much more flexible arrangements these days to fit in with modern family life. Weekly boarding is widely available, and is becoming more popular with city-based parents, particularly in areas where day places may be in short supply. Flexi-boarding allows pupils to board for part of the week and to attend as a day pupil for the remainder of the week, or to board on an occasional basis.

Flexi-boarding can be useful in the case of a family emergency, or to give full boarders the opportunity to have a "sleep-over" party, or perhaps for an overnight stay when a school trip is planned and the departure time is very early in the morning.
