About Aysgarth | Boarding & Pastoral
Happy, confident and courteous
Aysgarth is a home to the boys for much of the year and the happy, disciplined and caring environment enables them to flourish. We are passionate about the benefits that boarding provides. Boys are introduced to a wide range of opportunities and encouraged to explore in a secure environment with their friends.
The key pastoral care team includes the headmaster and his wife, the housemaster, the matrons and school nurse, and the form tutors, almost all of whom live on site. Close contact is maintained with parents and all boys have access to e-mail and telephones.
The chapel is in the centre of the school and the Christian faith is presented in a way that is relevant and exciting, helping the boys to develop respect for each other. Boys of other faiths are welcome.

The bedrooms, showers, washrooms and common rooms are modern and comfortable. Most importantly, the team of staff is enthusiastic about running many activities for boys in the evenings and at weekends, most of them within our beautiful 50-acre grounds.
We hope that boys will want to board as they see the opportunities that it opens up and we make it easy to grow into boarding; it is possible to start as a day boy, a weekly boarder or a full boarder.
