Moving to the Island

The uniqueness of the Island is due to the diversity of landscapes within it. Bustling towns, hills and farmland, open beaches, and sailing locations make it an idyllic place to live or visit.

We see a number of children joining us as a result of parents deciding to move to the Island, and relocating is made even easier with our weekly and flexi boarding options allowing parents to work on or off the Island.
