Samworths’ (13+ girls)
Samworths’ opened in September 2001 as Uppingham’s first girls’ 13-18 house. It was designed by Piers Gough (OU) who also designed the Leonardo Centre. As such, the house enjoys a light and welcoming feel, with bright open spaces.
There are three common rooms and kitchenettes, and a south facing back garden nestling in the curve of the house.
Around 60 girls live in Samworths’. Fourth Formers share four-bed dormitories and three-person studies. The Lower Fifth and Upper Fifth share two-person bedsits. Sixth Formers have their own floor, with single bedsits.
