Weekend routine Activity programme There is a boarders’ activity programme every weekend with activities arranged on differing times and days, including occasional Friday evenings. Younger boarders are required to sign up for a range of trips and activities, while sixth form boarders are also strongly encouraged to take part. There are also weekly sports fixtures that all pupils are regularly involved in as well as lectures, performances of music and drama and trips that all members of the school (day and boarding) are invited to. Please encourage your child to make the most of the wonderful range of opportunities available. Activity costs and consent The majority of trips and events for boarders are included in your fees. However, up to an additional £150 each year may be charged to help subsidise the cost of some of the more expensive trips, such as meals out or visits to theme parks, paintballing etc. We will not seek additional permission for these charges, so please advise if you do not wish your child to take part in these activities. At the beginning of each academic year, parents will need to complete an electronic consent form which allows their child to take part in the varied activities programme. Boarding news Parents can keep track of all the fun activities their children are doing by visiting the boarding news page on the school website. 26
