DAY PUPILS

Day pupils can choose to go home at 6.30pm if they have no school commitments but many stay until 9.00pm to relax with friends in House, complete prep and take part in school societies and activities. We find that most day pupils do stay later as the evenings are really sociable and fun with lots of activities going on. It also helps you get to know people. As a day pupil or a boarder, there are so many new things to try. Take advantage of as many opportunities as you can because it will be fun and a great way to meet new people. Don’t be put off if you are a complete beginner – most people are! Your life will be much easier if you can keep on top of prep and not let a backlog build up. The first term can be tiring – so pace yourself! Even as a day pupil, you’ll need casual/ home clothes for when you’re relaxing with your friends after lessons. You’ll also need a washbag and towel – and maybe some snacks.
