Term Dates

We would ask all parents for their co-operation in ensuring that travel arrangements and family holiday plans do not encroach on teaching or activity time.
Any request for arrival/departure at times other than those stated below should be made directly to the Deputy Head.

On return from Exeats and holidays the boarding Houses are open from 1700 onwards. Should you wish to bring your sons or daughters back earlier than this time, please would you contact his or her Housemaster or Housemistress to discuss individual arrangements.
