Saints Boarding Refurbishment – Ambrose Residence
Saints Boarding is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major refurbishment within the Ambrose Residence. This significant upgrade has delivered two newly modernised and purpose-built residences, enhancing both comfort and functionality for our boarding community.
The Junior Girls’ residence now comprises 36 private rooms, designed to provide a contemporary and supportive environment. Similarly, the Senior Boys’ residence features 34 modern private rooms, each with improved storage and custom-designed cupboard compartments.
In total, 70 boarding rooms have been refurbished, ensuring that our facilities continue to reflect the high standards of care, wellbeing, and educational support that Saints Boarding is committed to providing.
Care and Support
Each residence is overseen by a dedicated head of residence, who serves as the primary point of contact for parents and carers. Heads of residence work closely with teachers and the Health & Wellbeing Centre to ensure each boarder’s academic and personal needs are met. They are supported by a team of supervisors, offering boarders consistent access to a variety of trusted adults.
