0 a boy who studies at a boarding school (= a school where students can live as well as study) but eats and sleeps at home:
When his mother remarried he changed from being a day boy to a boarder.
Lucas was a day boy at Haberdashers' Aske's School in Hertfordshire.
We hoarded treats over the term, supplemented by food smuggled in by day boys.
In 1968 the school had 130 boarders, plus 25 day boys taken for the first two years.
Hodge, headmaster from 1879 to 1902, saw numbers increase, to 125 in 1896, with slightly more boarders than day boys.
A few never join owing to ill-health, and there are one or two, especially among the day boy.
After all, under the old direct grant system the fees to day boys were graded on an incomes scale, but the boarding fees were not.
Due to the availability of one auditorium, one day boys wing have their function and on the other girls wing.
