Term times and travel On the evening before the beginning of term and return to school after half-term breaks, boarders are welcome back to their Houses between 5pm and 9pm. To help you plan your travel and ensure your child is well-supported during transitions, please use the following guide for the start and end of our school terms. Start of term arrivals 9 Where a pupil's flight arrives early, it is the Guardian's responsibility to support their charges in getting to school from 5pm onwards. Am I able to arrive before 5pm? We understand that travel doesn’t always go to plan. If your child’s arrival will be later than the published window, simply notify their Head of House as soon as possible. What happens if I am delayed? When the holidays begin, we want to ensure every student has a smooth journey home. School officially ends at 1:00pm on the last day of term, and at 5pm on the day before a half-term break begins.Houses need to be vacated by 5pm at the end of term and by 6pm before a half-term break. Leaving at the end of term and at half-term Houses are not staffed during holidays, so students are unable to stay on-site or access the House once the holiday has begun. The only exception to this is if a boarder is going on a school excursion which departs the morning after term ends, when one House is kept open until 9am the following day. Can I access the House over the holidays? We do not have Exeat weekends, so full boarders may stay in school throughout the term. Over the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend (Saturday – Monday) Third and Fourth Years need to join the organised activities or visit parents or guardians. Fifth Year and Sixth Formers may remain in the House for quiet study and revision. Exeats and Bank Holidays
