Situated in the main Abbey and occupied the largest reception room, in which a painting of Rubens once hung; therefore, taking its name. Given the colour pink by Miss Dove, today, Rubens is situated on the site of the old swimming pool (which is now in the Davies Sports Centre) in a modern purpose-built boarding house which opened in 2017. With plenty of space for communal living, it is one of the largest boarding houses (along with Pitt next door) accommodating around 70 girls aged 12 \u2013 17. Rubens is a kind, supportive and joy-filled House where every pupil feels part of a special sisterhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pitt and Rubens: Building a Home\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/577127519?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link button transparentbg spotcolor blackbghover whitehover spotcolorborder blackborderhover border-1 all-borders size-1 marginbottom-1250 block wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/360imagephotography.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wycombeabbey\/index.htm?skip-loading&amp;media-index=41\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take a Look Around<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link button transparentbg spotcolor blackbghover whitehover spotcolorborder blackborderhover border-1 all-borders size-1 marginbottom-1250 block wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wycombeabbey.com\/Rubens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More Information about Rubens<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link button transparentbg spotcolor blackbghover whitehover spotcolorborder blackborderhover border-1 all-borders size-1 marginbottom-1250 block wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/houses.wycombeabbey.com\/category\/rubens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the Rubens Blog<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link button transparentbg spotcolor blackbghover whitehover spotcolorborder blackborderhover border-1 all-borders size-1 marginbottom-1250 block wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wycombeboarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Follow @WycombeBoarding on Instagram<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p>\u201cLeading Rubens is an enormous privilege.
