SUMMARY:Leading a Co-Educational Boarding House: Culture\, Space\, Staffing & Safeguarding
DESCRIPTION:🏷️ From £135\n📍 Online\n✅ Included in BSA CPD Pass \n\nCourse Outline: \nMoving from single-sex to co-educational boarding is about much more than putting boys and girls under the same roof. It requires careful thought about culture\, leadership\, staffing\, physical space\, safeguarding and the experience of both pupils and staff. \nThis practical session will explore what it takes to establish and lead a successful co-educational boarding house\, drawing on my experience of leading the merger of well-established boys’ and girls’ houses into a single co-educational house\, followed by the subsequent move the model to a second house a year later. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nWhat culture do you want to create\, and how do you establish shared expectations from the outset?\nHow do you bring teams from different houses together and move beyond existing house identities and personalities?\nHow do you ensure that shared language\, values and expectations underpin the new culture?\nHow can boarding spaces be designed or adapted cost-effectively to create appropriate separation\, privacy and security while maximising capacity?\nWhat practical systems and tools can be used to manage access\, separation and safeguarding?\nHow do you identify and mitigate the risks that are particular to co-educational boarding?\nHow do you approach staffing\, including ensuring fairness and appropriate arrangements for male and female residential staff?\nWhat are the simple\, low-cost changes that can make a significant difference?\nHow do you communicate the model effectively and give parents confidence in the safety and quality of co-educational boarding?\nWhat I wish I had known when I started: practical lessons\, mistakes and solutions from implementing change in a live boarding environment.\n\nThe session will be deliberately practical and reflective\, giving delegates ideas\, questions and tools that they can take back and apply within their own boarding context. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nUnderstand the key cultural and organisational considerations when establishing or developing a co-educational boarding house.\nBe able to identify strategies for creating a house culture in which both boys and girls can thrive\, with shared values and expectations taking precedence over individual personalities and historic house identities.\nUnderstand how to create safe\, appropriately private spaces for pupils while making effective use of existing accommodation.\nConsider practical approaches to separation\, access control\, supervision and safeguarding within a co-educational boarding environment.\nExplore strategies for managing and integrating staff teams fairly and effectively.\nIdentify ways of communicating the co-educational model to parents and building confidence in its safety and effectiveness.\nTake away practical\, cost-effective ideas for addressing common challenges in co-educational boarding.\n\nBOOK NOW \nThis event will be held jointly with:  \n \nSpeaker: \nCallum Carroll\, Head of Boarding\, Kings Rochester  \nAs a Level 2 Accredited BSA Practitioner (MTIOB) and Head of Boarding\, I have spent nine years working in a boarding school environment\, with five years in boarding leadership as Deputy and Housemaster\, three years as a Day Housemaster\, and ongoing responsibilities as DDSL for Boarding. Over the past two years\, I successfully led the merger of established boys’ and girls’ houses to create a unified co-educational model. Following this\, a move to new facilities allowed me to completely rethink transition management\, physical separation\, staffing models\, supervision\, and safeguarding protocols across both houses – delivering an authentic\, family-style environment for our boarders.
