The Dragon has a long tradition of boarding. The boarding community is at the very heart of this thriving, co-educational school. More than a third of our preparatory pupils are boarders and all our houseparents, boarding and other teaching staff contribute hugely to its success. The School prides itself on creating a family atmosphere where the children feel happy and safe.

Boarders comprise about 250 of the children from Years 4 through to 8 at the Dragon. We have children who board from local, national and international backgrounds. About 16% of our boarders are from British families living abroad and 4% are foreign nationals from a wide range of countries.
