Boarding at VGS

At Velammal, we pride ourselves on being a truly happy junior boarding school where young boarders can enjoy their childhood, creating friendships and memories that will last a lifetime in a home away from home environment.

Our exceptional house team ensures that the boarding houses run smoothly at a grassroots level. The atmosphere within the house is friendly and comfortable, allowing all pupils to feel valued and confident throughout the day. The team supervises everything from morning wake-up to bedtime, with the Houseparent available throughout the day.

We offer both girls’ and boys’ boarding houses for children aged 8-16, situated within our Senior School campus. This gives our younger boarders a special insight into Senior School life, often fostering amazing friendships that support a seamless transition as they progress through the year groups. After breakfast, children are transported to the Junior School by bus, returning after their after-school activity session – just like coming home at the end of a school day.
