Welcome to MPW Boarding
Dear Boarders, Parents and Guardians,
We are delighted to welcome boarders to our brand new facility at Queen’s Gate House, offering fantastic accommodation and the opportunity to build a real boarding community here at MPW London. We opened in January 2023, and since then we have built a real sense of community. We know the returning boarders are excited to welcome our new students, and hope they will feel happy, safe and at home here with us in Queen’s Gate House.
We have a fantastic team of Houseparents who are experienced, keen and enjoy living and working together to support our boarders in one international community.
Our boarding staff would like to start getting to know their new boarders. As such, we would love it if boarders could complete a questionnaire, so we can start to get a sense of who they are and where they’re from – follow this link to complete the questionnaire.
We also encourage boarders to bring posters and photos from home to decorate the noticeboards in their rooms – we really want them to feel at home with us in our single, en-suite rooms. To celebrate the diversity of our boarding house, we’d also like our boarders to bring a magnet which showcases their city or country!
On this page, you will find lots of useful information to read through including details of our induction schedule, Pre-Arrivals Welcome Pack, and Orah, our boarding software. This is an important aspect of boarding with us, as we use it for signing in and out, leave requests and signing up for trips and activities in boarding. In addition, all boarders will receive a copy of our Boarding Handbook during their Welcome Week.
We’re really looking forward to welcoming boarders to our MPW London Boarding community!
Best wishes.
The MPW Boarding Team
Trips and activities
We plan a wide range of trips and activities for students throughout the year together with the Boarding Committee. Boarders sign up to these at the start of each term. Our in-house activities include film nights, karaoke, boardgames, and special occasions such as Chinese New Year, International Womens’ Day and Nowruz celebrations.
At the end of each term, we host an event for all boarders which include the Christmas Formal (term 1), Boarding Oscars (term 2) and Summer Celebration (term 3). These events bring together the boarding community to celebrate boarders’ achievements throughout the terms with certificates and awards.
Orah boarding school software
MPW Boarding will use Orah Boarding school software. This software enables students to sign out to specific locations, which is important for our duty of care to boarders and helps us to now here students are at all times.
It will also be the system used by parents and guardians to request passes, add hosts and give permission for time outside of school for evenings, weekends and holidays.
Parents and educational guardians will receive login details for Orah at the start of the academic year. Please sign in to Orah either on your browser or by downloading the parent app, available on Android and iOS. If you have any questions or issues with the system, please contact londonhouseparents@mpw.ac.uk.
