A Word From our Head Prefect...

'I have been part of the Adams House family for five years and this year was lucky enough to be voted Head Prefect.

For any teenager, leaving home can be very daunting and I should know! I was just 13 when I arrived at Adams House, moving from, Saudi Arabia where my parents still live. I haven’t looked back – I feel very privileged to have been given the chance to meet and live with people from many different cultures. Boarding offers so many opportunities and helps you grow as a person and giving you independence within a structured environment. I strongly recommend it!!'
Siobhan Horder (Head Prefect)
