Dean Park House benefits from continual investment and a commitment to providing a nourishing, homely environment for the children.
DPH can accommodate up to 30 girls and boys in separate, secure sleeping areas. No more than 5 children share spacious dorms, whilst every effort is made to ensure our S5 and Sixth Form students share with just one other or have their own study bedroom.
Children use their own personal large pin boards to make their space their own and are free to use the communal areas which include a television room, air hockey, pool and football tables as well as a computer room with internet as they wish. Music practice rooms are also available for the children to use.
Senior boys and girls retreat to the newly created, vibrant common room complete with kitchenette, Touch Table computer and Sony 62” curved Smart TV with Sky TV and Playstation 4
TV/games rooms provide a space for boys and girls, either separately or together, to watch films, play computer games, chat and unwind in their free time
Pool, air hockey, table tennis and football tables provide screen-free entertainment for the boys and girls
Computer centres are available for use by all of the children and boys and girls in S5 and Sixth Form can study in their bedrooms if they prefer
Boys and girls dine together with staff for breakfast and lunch and specially prepared theme menus are popular throughout the year
As with any home, however, the kitchen is usually a hive of activity with the children preparing snacks, and chatting with one another and the Boarding House staff. ESMS Boarders have automatic membership to our Sports Centres, which include AstroTurf pitches, a 25m swimming pool and tennis, badminton and basketball courts. Boarders aged 16 and over can also use our state-of-the-art fitness suite. Dean Park House is maintained regularly and refurbished each summer holiday.
