BLAKE
YEAR 7 | DAY & BOARDING | CO-ED
Year 7 pupils begin their RHS journey in the friendly and supportive community of Blake House, whether they join us as day pupils or boarders.
From the very first day, they are welcomed into a nurturing environment where friendships are formed, confidence grows, and every child feels a true sense of belonging.
A dedicated team of caring staff is on hand at every step, offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear to ensure pupils feel happy, settled, and ready to thrive throughout their first year.
