Boarding

At Lathallan, our boarders live in a 19th-century castle on the coast. We welcome full, weekly and flexi boarders from age 11-18.

Home away from home

Our focus is to look after your children as best we can. We fully support them in all aspects of their time here – creating a warm, fun-filled, homely environment where their welfare is our top priority.

School life in boarding provides fantastic opportunities for children to advance academically and socially. Boarders are actively encouraged to engage in a wide range of activities in conjunction with a well-structured study routine. Prep is completed in a supportive and focused environment. Lathallan facilities are available after school and at the weekends boarders enjoy regular trips off campus.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the Lathallan family.

Living in a castle with stunning coastal views

We understand that each family’s needs are different, which is why we offer options for full-time, weekly, and flexi boarding for children aged 11-18. Our beautiful 19th-century castle serves as a home for our boarders. This historic setting provides a unique living environment.

We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing environment where pupils can develop lasting friendships while learning and enjoying a range of weeknight and weekend activities.

Flexi-boarding is popular

Children can board for three or more nights a week on a regular basis to suit family circumstances. This is the ideal solution for busy working families and gives children an early taste of independence away from home.

Boarder Esther’s Story

“After growing up in South London for 11 years, moving to a tiny village by the sea to attend boarding school full-time was definitely a challenge.

All in all, my school experience in Scotland started out as something unfamiliar and intimidating but has grown into a series of memories and unique adventures that I will forever hold dear to me.

Upon turning up at our ‘castle by the sea’ on my first night at school, I never would have imagined that the following six years would be the ones most significant to my growth and development as a person.”
