The Lodge (Sixth Form girls)
The Lodge is the only house exclusively open to girls who join Uppingham in the Sixth Form. It is a beautiful gothic-revival building, set in elegant landscaped grounds opening onto the valley and arboretum that lead to the Middle playing fields. The house has a varied history: built during the 1860s as a lower school, it was then a boys’ boarding house from 1921 until 1994. It is conveniently located, near to all the arts, science, and sporting facilities of the Western Campus, and a five-minute walk to the main school buildings and music schools.
The Lodge’s 45 girls each have their own single bedrooms. The house also has extensive gardens for socialising.
