The Psychological Impact of Boarding School: The Trunk in the Hall

Editor : Penny Cavenagh, Editor : Susan McPherson, Editor : Jane Ogden

Reviews and Endorsements

A scholarly and nuanced study on the long-term psychological impacts of British boarding schools: while some people thrive in boarding schools, for too many others the adverse psychological impacts last a lifetime.
Benedict Rattigan, author and ex-boarder at Eton

Boarding is often misunderstood and misrepresented, but this invaluable book provides a wide, and evidence-informed, analysis of the sector. Importantly, the authors allow the voices of the former pupils themselves to speak and in doing so reveal a nuanced and complex series of personal narratives. This is a book that should be read not only by those who work in boarding schools, but by anyone involved in education and child psychology.
David James, co-editor of The State of Independence
