Campion (Boys’ Boarding, Years 12-13)
“Campion House provides an excellence balance between studying and a social life, with both academic support and social events taking place. There is a real sense of belonging and community within the house, the importance of which cannot be overstated.”
Mr Samuel Higgs
Head of Boarding (Campion House)
Campion House is a welcoming “home away from home” within New Hall’s historic Grade I listed building, upholding values that reflect the school’s heritage. Campion fosters a vibrant, productive culture that balances community with innovation.
Every day, pupils are greeted with homemade snacks and a time to gather, sharing personal achievements and house projects. We celebrate individual strengths in music, sport, STEM, and more, creating a supportive environment before dining together as a house. Our dedicated tutoring team provides tailored academic support, from matched study sessions to our new silent study space, enhancing both academic and personal growth.
Community is central to Campion’s boarding life, fostering lifelong friendships among the fifty residents. For full boarders, the house provides resources, independence, and support in a seamless blend. Joining from abroad brings exciting opportunities to engage with diverse cultures and experiences.
Whether on the football pitch, at the golf course, in debate, or preparing for exams and exhibitions, Campion House is there, providing camaraderie and support every step of the way.

Flexible Boarding at New Hall
- Flexible boarding is available in Years 3-13
- Flexible boarding is ideally suited for those who live locally or more widely within the Eastern region
- Students can choose to board for 1-6 nights per week (a regular weekly commitment is required for one term at a time)
- Flexible boarding allows students with a longer commute the opportunity to stay at school on the evenings when they have their main co-curricular commitments, which otherwise would have meant a very late return home and difficulties in managing homework deadlines for the following day
- Flexible boarding can be a perfect introduction to boarding for our younger students
- Some flexible boarders return to their House on Sunday evening, although for some a Monday morning return is more convenient
- Flexible boarders are freed from the daily commute, which for some day students can be up to 2 hours or more
- During the time saved, flexible boarders can wake-up later in the morning, enjoy co-curricular activities after school, complete all of their homework and still have time for relaxation and downtime with their friends!
- Flexible boarders may depart for home on a Friday evening or on Saturday following any co-curricular pursuits in which they may be involved, such as dance classes or sports fixtures
