“Loyd House has a strong reputation for its welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Older boys and Prefects play a key role in setting the right tone, enabling all boys to fully enjoy their time in A House. In recent years, Loyd House boys have excelled in science, music, drama, the arts and a very wide variety of sports. Boys should expect to commit to a variety of activities, actively seek new challenges, take part in individual and team pursuits and leave fulfilled.”
