Join Us for Years 7 (Upper) & 8 (Remove)
Year 7 is a wonderful moment to join Saint Ronan’s. Pupils begin their journey with the Upper Camp, where new friendships form quickly through shared adventures, outdoor challenges, and the kind of memorable experiences that stay with them for life. It’s a fresh start filled with possibility.
At this stage, children benefit from our thoughtfully structured preparation for senior school, delivered in a nurturing, child-focused environment that recognises each pupil’s strengths and supports their growth with care and encouragement. Alongside this, our weekly and flexi boarding options offer an ideal introduction to greater independence, providing a warm, supportive home-from-home where children can gain confidence, build resilience, and enjoy a rich life beyond the classroom.
For many families, Upper at Saint Ronan’s is not just a transition; it’s the beginning of something truly special. At Saint Ronan’s, these two years are an opportunity for every pupil to thrive, lead, and prepare for the exciting challenges ahead.
