We have onsite residential accommodation at Hereward College for young people wishing to study with us. Residential stays can be booked in both 36 and 49 week options.

Our purpose-built residential accommodation provides a home from home environment with ensuite bedrooms, fully accessible bathrooms, laundry service and adjustable kitchens.

If you choose to stay with us on a residential basis, you will develop independence and life skills, make new friends, gain confidence and take more control over your own care with the support of our experienced staff.
