The quality of boarding at Giggleswick is outstanding. Live-in house parents make sure that students have everything they need, are well fed and well-cared for 24 hours a day. Students live in single sex areas in well-maintained and homely boarding houses. There are single, double and dormitory rooms. Laundry is collected each day and any medical needs are looked after by the school's Welfare Officer, who is qualified in First Aid.

All meals are eaten in the School's modern dining hall. Food is cooked on the premises and there are hot and cold options at all meal times. Packed lunches are provided for trips out of school and refreshments are available at break times and before bed time. All diets and allergies can be catered for.
