For the first half of the Michaelmas Term the School is on Summer Timetable, with lessons in the first half of the afternoon and then activities before Tea. This changes after Half Term in Michaelmas, when sport and other activities take place straight after lunch and then lessons take place in the latter half of the afternoon. Summer Timetable returns in the second half of the Lent Term.
There are no lessons on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons: this is when sports practices, fixtures and much of the cultural programme takes place.
In the first half of the Michaelmas Term and in the Summer Term, pupils may remain outside until 6.50pm, but during Winter Timetable pupils are expected to remain in their Houses after Tea. Some activities take place between Tea and Prep or after Prep, in particular music and play rehearsals.
