Apsley House: The Next Chapter
A Message from Clare Hamilton, Apsley HM
All of us in Apsley are incredibly excited to be embarking on the next chapter in the life of the House – the move to become Teddies’ third co-educational Boarding House, and the extensive refurbishment to be undertaken as we remodel the interior to provide not only co- educational facilities, but also significant improvements for everyone in the Apsley community. Designed by TSH Architects, the team behind the Christie Centre and the Olivier Hall, the House will gain a spacious new ground-floor common room, and a new dining area and “home from home” family kitchen on the first floor as well as private walled gardens – a very clever addition by the architects given the House’s position right at the heart of the Quad. Co-educational Apsley will be for boys from Shell to Fifth Form, and for girls and boys in the Sixth Form. Our first Lower Sixth girls will join us in September 2021, and will live in the Apsley Annexe, dedicated girls’ boarding accommodation very close to the main House, until the renovation is complete in the summer of 2022. Creating this co-residential experience is absolutely at the heart of what we believe in at St Edward’s; working and living alongside each other prepares our pupils most effectively for real life.
