New College House
Head of House: Mr O’Brien
With a dedicated team of pastoral house staff, New College House is a friendly, sociable and caring place for our boarders aged 13-18 to make their home from home.
Students can sample the hustle and bustle of Manchester City Centre and enjoy clean, safe and accessible facilities that allow them to excel in their studies, and establish lifelong friendships along the way.
New College House was first opened by HM The Queen in December 1994. Its location on campus creates easy access for our Middle School and Sixth Form boarders to settle at the school and immerse themselves in everything we have to offer.
The house is shared between Middle School and Sixth Form students, with Years 9 to 11 occupying 3/4-person dorms and Sixth Form students occupying single and double dorms. All dorms have bathrooms, wardrobes, secure storage and desks.
New College House contains common rooms on each floor including kitchenettes and televisions. The Duty room on the ground floor contains a small school computer suite for studies as well as a small library of books and board games. We also have a dedicated reflective quiet space which students can access to take a break from their surroundings either alone or with a member of the house team.
Students are always made aware of who is on duty and where to go when they need a staff member to either talk through their day with or just have a laugh. Regularly scheduled sign-ins ensure that all our boarders come and go from their lessons and extra-curricular activities safely and securely. Our house staff live within the boarding house – so support is available 24/7.
Days are structured for our students to include mandatory study time and sports activities, as well as mentoring for our Sixth Form students who are encouraged to take on further responsibility in their daily organisation.
We also host extracurricular activities on a regular basis, including social events, cooking club and a wide range of other exciting activities and weekend trips organised by the house staff. New College House is truly a home-from-home for our boarders who live here.
