After School

The School day ends at 16:00 in good time for the 16:15 coaches. After School activities end at 17:15 in good time for the 17:30 coaches. It is important that your son realises the 17:30 coach routes may differ from his 16:15 route and may not include his normal stop location. If boys are being collected, parents may pick-up from the Girls’ School car park. Please do not drive through the Boys’ School to collect.

The Library is open for quiet study until 17:15. In case of emergency, there is always a member of staff on duty in the Library after School. Staff can be contacted via Reception. Boys must always be supervised.

4. Assemblies

There are a variety of assemblies during the week lasting approximately 20 minutes. The Middle School (Years 9 –11) assembly takes place on a Wednesday morning and is led by Mr Lawrence. On Thursdays, your son can choose from the following faith assembly programme: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Humanist. We hope that the boys will attend a variety of assemblies. The Headmaster’s assembly is available for those boys not wishing to attend faith assemblies.

5. Calendar of Events/Sports Fixtures

The School uses ‘miSOCS’ - this is an online calendar that can be accessed directly from the School website. Parents, boys and staff will be able to filter the calendar for their individual needs and download it to their computers and devices. Saturday fixtures are generally set one term in advance. Parents should email or write to the Director of Sport with at least seven days’ notice if they are unable to attend a fixture. If a boy is ill on the day of the game parents should email the Director of Sport or the team coach directly. Parents are strongly encouraged to watch their sons compete and refreshments are provided for spectators at matches.
