11 Travel arrangements for half-terms and holidays Al l boarders should provide precise detai ls of their movements during half-terms and hol idays so we know when our boarders are coming and going from the house, where they are staying, and any fl ight information for students leaving from, and returning to, the UK. We wi l l send out a request for this information approximately two weeks beforehand and we appreciate your support in completing this as soon as possible. Missing School should be avoided wherever possible, but we are aware that boarders' travel plans don' t always fit neatly with the terms dates and times. We encourage parents to make fl ight bookings early; term dates are publ ished two years in advance to ensure that this is possible, and can be found here. Absence requests Requests to leave prior to these times should be the exception, so please ensure you plan your chi ld’s travel arrangements accordingly, and do not plan for an early departure unti l approval has been granted. Requests of up to 24 hours early departure can be made to your chi ld's Housemaster, anything longer wi l l need approval from the Head, and wi l l only be granted in exceptional circumstances. If suitable fl ights are not avai lable on the last day of term or on the day the half-term break begins, parents are asked to book the next avai lable fl ight and arrange for their chi ldren to stay with their guardians unti l then. Weekly boarders Weekly boarders may go home on Friday when their School commitments are complete and should return to the house either on Sunday evening by 9.00pm or on Monday morning by 8.30am for boarding registration. Weekly boarders may choose to stay in School on Friday evening and Saturday morning as they may have matches on Saturdays. Weekly boarders may only stay on Saturday evenings in special circumstances and with the Housemaster’s permission. Parents must contact Housemasters via emai l to confirm this is happening.
