Going to a new school for the first time can be scary! We make things easy so students soon feel at home.
Before a new student arrives our ‘buddy’ system connects them to current students. This means that when they get here, they already know some familiar faces.
Our caring boarding staff, who live on every floor, are there to support students in this new, exciting stage of life. They help them settle in and get used to the boarding school way of life; they listen to any concerns students may have and they share and celebrate achievements. They always have the student’s happiness and well-being at heart.
Students soon feel happy, safe and part of the Brillantmont family. Even those who arrive in the middle of the school year fit in easily and quickly into our small community. We are a community which promotes mutual respect and which values everyone as an individual. We want everyone to “be themselves” at Brillantmont.


Our boarding team
Our warm, experienced and friendly boarding staff live alongside you on every floor. They speak different languages between them and want you to feel at home and settled. When you join BM, you join a big family; we are there to take good care of you, to celebrate the good times and to support you all the way on your journey to adulthood.
Our Head of Boarding, Mr Dix, leads our dynamic boarding team and ensures that, together with them, your Brillantmont experience is happy and positive.

Our boarding houseparents live on the floors, alongside the students. They will make you feel at home in your Brillantmont boarding life and take good care of you.

In one of the boarding houses there are ensuite bathrooms. In the others, bathrooms are shared between 3-4 students. Each boarding house has a lounge area and a small kitchen, where students get together with others to relax and make snacks at the weekend.


At break-times, a selection of fruits and healthy snacks and drinks are available.

Five-day boarding is also available for families living in Switzerland or neighbouring France.
