A large number of Junior School pupils learn a musical instrument taught by one of the many visiting music teachers each week. In Year 3 pupils are able to participate free of charge in our Strings Scheme where every child is given a violin, viola or cello to play, with instruction for a whole term. A similar scheme is operated in Year 4 for brass instruments. For many children this provides them with opportunities they would never have otherwise experienced. A programme of residential trips and off-site learning experiences provide the opportunity for Junior School children to learn new skills and try new activities. These trips and residential visits are all included in the standard fees. At the time of publishing we are unable to be certain that they will be able to go ahead during this academic year; in normal circumstances these would be: • Year 2, Fairthorne Manor (outdoor activities, one night) • Year 3, Ufton Court (history trip, two nights)

• Year 4, Activity Week (5 day outdoor activity in

Portsmouth, no overnight stays) • Year 5, Land and Wave, Swanage (outdoor activities, four nights) • Year 6, France (cultural trip, five nights)

Each day the Dining Hall offers a wide range of freshly cooked, nutritious meals for the pupils. There are always a selection of options available to suit different dietary needs within the choice of hot meals, as well as a fresh salad bar and fruit.

Breakfast is available daily in the Dining Hall and Sixth Form Centre before the start of school from 07:45 – 08:30.

Snacks are available for Sixth Form pupils in the Sixth Form Centre.

School Lunch Payment System

All pupils have a lunch account which can have money credited to it and then the cost of pupil’s purchases, within set limits, is deducted by the use of their personal swipe card or scanning their thumb print. The account can be funded in the following ways: from the child’s account, and within set limits. If you choose to set up a lunch account online, this will enable you to add funds to your child’s account at your discretion. The facility is operated by “Upay” through a secure website. You can then top up your child’s account and view their purchases. Payments can be made direct to the Bursary to top up lunch accounts by debit or credit card either by visiting the office or by telephone. Alternatively you can top-up by sending a cheque to the Bursary, please clearly write your child’s name and ‘lunch account’ on the reverse of the cheque. Alternatively the cost of purchases can be charged in arrears on your termly invoice. Children’s lunch accounts may occasionally be overspent as we never refuse a child lunch. If the account becomes seriously overdrawn then the debt will be transferred to the parent’s fee invoice and the lunch account amended to a zero balance.
