Flexi-boarding is a relatively new approach which has proven popilar withnparents. Here the families work out arrangements with the school on an individual basis, depending on the family circumstances. Partial or weekly boarding involves the children going home each weekend. This provides more time with the family as well as friends at home. Parents and children see as a way to get the best out of boarding life without loosing out on home life with family and friends. Weekly boarding help to more efficently use time and reduce the daily complexity of journeys associated with day students. There are many other possible options associatd with flexi-boarding where children might just stay at schools for a few days each week. This helps parents who have a range of weekday commitments. It is a bit hard on the schools, however, as it increases the complexity of the boasrding operation and does not msake full use of the boarding facilities.
