Our Houses
Five Homes. One Community.
There are four Houses at Peponi – Chala, Magadi, Elementaita and Jipe – each one offering full boarding, weekly boarding and day options to all age-groups. There is also Sedge House, recently refurbished to an exceptional level, which accommodates our Forms I & II and Shell (Years 7, 8 and 9), thereby caring and overseeing the transition from Prep School to Senior School. All Houses work together to create a unique family community.
Each House has approximately seventy pupils, their individual needs are met and nurtured by a resident Housemaster or Housemistress who oversees each pupil’s welfare.
Key facts:
- Full and weekly boarders have individual rooms, whilst day pupils share.
- Situated within easy walking distance of the School’s classrooms and facilities
- All meals are taken in our Dining Hall
- On weekday evenings, a supervised prep session takes place.
- Each pupil has their own Personal Tutor which further enhances the pastoral provision in place.
Through Inter-House Competitions - ranging from debating to dance; from rugby to rounders - loyalty to one’s House occurs and a sense of spirit and inclusivity resonates. Consequently, the House can often be the environment in which a pupil of any age feels they have the best chance to unlock potential away from the classroom.
