Boarding Handbook

Arrival and departure Travel arrangements for half-terms and holidays All boarders should provide precise details of their movements during half-terms and holidays so we know when our boarders are coming and going from the house, where they are staying, and any flight information for students leaving from, and returning to, the UK. We will send out a request for this information approximately two weeks beforehand and we appreciate your support in completing this as soon as possible. Missing school should be avoided wherever possible, but we are aware that boarders' travel plans don't always fit neatly with the terms dates and times. We encourage parents to make flight bookings early; term dates are published two years in advance to ensure that this is possible, and can be found here.The houses need to be vacated by 5pm on the last day of term and 6pm on the day before half-term break. The boarding houses are not staffed after this time so it is not possible for any boarder to remain beyond this time, nor are they able to access the house at any stage over the school holidays. The only exception to this is when a school excursion is leaving the day after school ends. On such occasions, one of the boarding houses will remain open until 9am the following day. Only those boarders who are going on the trip will be permitted to stay in the house on these occasions. 11
