Earle House
Earle House provides a home for all boys until they reach the Sixth Form. This means a wide range of ages, interests and personalities make up our community.
Once study has been completed, there is football, table tennis, pool and swimming to get involved with. The Earle House football team maintain an ongoing rivalry against Campion House. Twice a week the boys are either invited to Hawley House or invite the Hawley girls into Earle. There are many other opportunities for mixed activities in the evenings such as cookery or film club. A number of the boys take the opportunity (up to three times a week) to make use of the new fitness suite. Where ever possible if the boys express an interest in trying an activity we will endeavour to make it happen.
The key to successful communal living in a large boarding house is cooperation. All boarders pitch in on a rota system to keep the kitchen and common room tidy. There is also, of course, an expectation that the boys are responsible for keeping their rooms in a habitable state.
Weekends provide the boys with the majority of their free time. The Entertainment Society organises trips every Saturday for all boarders. On Sunday all boys attend mass then their time is their own.
