Boarders are expected to leave Eagle House by 18:00 on the Exeat Friday and return between 18:00 and 20:00 on the Sunday evening.
Lost Property Any misplaced uniform, sports kit or school equipment that is found around the school is collected and taken to the lost property hut, which is next to the parking area on the Prep School playground. It is essential that all items of school uniform and kit are named so that they can be returned to boys. Named items of lost property are sorted into each Tutor’s box. Boys can then go and collect them from the lost property hut at break time and lunchtime. Any named items not collected are usually returned to boys on a weekly basis. Parents can also visit the lost property hut each weekday between 15:45 and 16:10.
Term finishes: Friday 7 Jul (16:10)
School Fees
At the beginning of each term, boarders return by 18:00 the previous evening and, after half terms, by 20:00 the previous evening.
Details of fees are sent to parents each year and are also available throughout the year on the school website.
We strongly recommend that all Prep Boarders go home to their families during the Christmas, Easter and Summer Holidays, as well as the two week half term break in October.
Fees for the forthcoming year are announced each summer term.
