Boarding Weekends

Weekends at Cargilfield are an opportunity for day children and those who might board during the week, to come and experience the excitement of the boarding lifestyle with the opportunity for trips, activities and time to have the run of the School campus and all of its facilities.

Every other weekend is typically a special boarding weekend. Sometimes, these weekends are tailored to a specific year group, while on other occasions, they are open to all children in the Upper School.

We designate two evenings per term as ‘boarders-only’ nights, during which a special activity or treat is organised for the boarders and the wider boarding community. Some of these weekends are aimed at specific year groups, such as a camping trip or a weekend based at the school, while others are open to all year groups from Form 4 to Form 8. Additionally, we host one weekend per year specifically for P3 children, providing them with their first fun boarding experience during a camping weekend on our campus in the Summer term.

Although boarding isn’t compulsory at Cargilfield, we hope that all children will have had some experience of this before they leave and have enjoyed some of the boarding weekends on offer.

Please email Mr Stephen ([email protected]) to book your child in for a weekend.
