Boys Dorms

Separate junior and senior boys wings were at the furthest end of the Noel, segregated away from the girls. There were always more boys than girls and their dorms were larger.

Refurbishments and extra beds in 2011 helped improve their comforts. Plenty of playing space was available in the fields around the boys area. In the field behind the junior block there was a small graveyard.

The oldest senior boys could share rooms in the boundary building. They were expected to leave by the time they were 18, but so many had no family and nowhere else to go.
