Boarding activities
We run a busy programme of weekend activities for our boarders, as well as actively encouraging girls to become involved in local community activities. It is compulsory for all full boarders to choose at least three weekend activities per term, and for those in U4 and below to choose one every weekend. Wherever possible, we provide activities free of charge, but it is sometimes necessary to charge a small contribution towards the costs of tickets and transportation. These charges are heavily subsidised, with tickets discounted by up to 50%.
Our programme of activities are listed below for the current term:
