Portland House – Craignez Honte (Fear Disgrace)
The re-opening of Portland House as a Junior House provides a dedicated environment for preparing children to progress to Senior School. Under the care of a resident Housemaster, Houseparent and Assistant Housemaster, children integrate and settle into Senior School life in a supportive environment – focused on their specific needs, well ahead of a key stage of their academic career. This move allows access to all the amazing facilities and resources at the College but gives our younger pupils a dedicated space.
Portland House is located in what is currently the Meynell Building. The building has been re-developed to accommodate younger students and consists of bedrooms, study rooms, common rooms, music room and a kitchen. It is just a few strides from the Chapel door and nestling on the edge of the athletics track. The detached location enables the children to have plenty of space in a relaxed environment. The Portland House Garden – complete with fire pit and barbeque, is a popular hang-out.
