Day Plus The Day Plus Programme is available to all day boys in the Prep School and consists of three different options providing a before and after school programme and flexible boarding opportunities. Before-school This before-school facility is available in Eagle House from 07:30 each week day. Boys are supervised from this time and join the boarders for breakfast at 08:00. Please note: boys should not be in school before 08:00. This is the earliest time that staff supervision is available. The before-school option should be used if you require your son to be in school before 08:00.
After-school The after-school option allows boys to join the boarders in Eagle House from 16:10 until 19:30 each weeknight. They take part in a supervised prep session, join the boarders for an evening meal and enjoy a range of activities on certain nights. Flexible Boarding Eagle House also offers flexible boarding on an ad hoc and regular basis. During their stay, boys become part of the boarding community. The flexible boarding option includes supervised prep, an evening meal, supper and breakfast as well as a range of activities.
