Michaelmas 2025 Boarding Roundup from Mr Gunn

As we head towards the Christmas break , Mr Gunn, Head of Boarding at Woodbridge School, looks back on what our boarders have been doing during Michaelmas term.

“It is wonderful to reflect on just how much our boarding community has achieved together over the first term of this academic year. A particular highlight has been the creation of our new boarding promotional video, with students showcasing the very best of School House, Woodbridge School, and the town itself. Their enthusiasm and maturity made the project a real success and a pleasure to work on together.

This term has also been marked by meaningful moments of community and reflection, including our involvement in Remembrance and our shared silence to honour those affected by conflict. Alongside this, boarders have enjoyed a rich programme of weekend activities and trips, from escape rooms and go-karting, to pottery, punting in Cambridge, and preparing for university life through cookery sessions.

We are equally delighted with the extensive redesign of School House, including a new front office, refreshed rooms, and improved social spaces. These refurbishments have already had a positive impact on daily life, creating an even warmer and more welcoming environment for everyone at School House.

It has been a busy, positive, and memorable term, and we are immensely proud of the way our boarders have embraced every opportunity, merging together as a boarding family, taking care of themselves and one another through kindness, community and generosity to one another.

We look forward to carrying this momentum into the next term.”
