Our newest House, Fletcherites, extends the opportunity of a Charterhouse sixth form education more widely than before. Day boys and girls enjoy the same teaching and extra curricular facilities as the boarders, and they are able to stay at School until late in the evening if they wish. They also have the same chance to develop their sporting, cultural, spiritual and service interests.
Situated centrally next to seven of the boarding houses, central dining rooms and the Queen’s Sports Centre, Fletcherites offers up to 54 day pupils excellent facilities, including studies, changing rooms, butteries and dining room. Day boys and girls have their own Housemaster, Matron and House Tutors to ensure excellent academic and pastoral support. This takes the capacity of the School close to 800 pupils, with over 90% of pupils boarding.
Fees
The fees are set at a level which takes account of the range of educational opportunity on offer but recognises the differential costs between day and boarding. A limited number of bursaries for those with proven financial need will be available.
Selection Process
The selection process for day pupils will be separate from that for boarders, but we will be looking for similar qualities; academic ability, talent in other fields and the personality and self-confidence to make the most of what we have to offer.
Application forms should be submitted by early October. We will then request reports from candidates' present schools. The selection day will be held at Charterhouse on a Saturday in mid November when candidates will sit three standard papers (vocabulary, arithmetic and non-verbal reasoning) and two further papers in subjects of their own choice. Candidates will also be interviewed.
Offers of places are announced on 1st December.
