On Wednesday 22nd September, BBC 2 will be showing a programme called "Britain's Youngest Boarders". It was filmed at Sunningdale during the Michaelmas term last year and it tells the story of what it is like to start at boarding school.
The whole school saw the programme on Thursday evening and I think they were pleased with it. I think it gives a fair representation of life at Sunningdale and I will be very interested to see the reaction of the wider public. I am sure that there will be those who say that they would never send their son to boarding school and that is their prerogative. I do hope, though, that people who watch the programme will realise that boarding is so different from how many people, unfamiliar with it, perceive it.
