Boardingedit
Cothill House is a full boarding school, meaning pupils go home only for organised weekends, exeats, half-terms and end-of-terms. Day places are offered for Cothill Juniors in Years 4 and 5. Prince William and his brother Prince Harry were registered to attend Cothill, which was the choice of their father Charles, Prince of Wales,[3] but in the end they both attended a rival establishment, Ludgrove, instead.
