Exeats

Apart from half-term, which includes either one or two weekends, exeats happen approximately every three weeks when everyone, both staff and boys, enjoys a three or four day break. In addition, there is a choice of free weekends out, when boys may leave at 1.00 pm on Saturday, returning on Sunday by 7.00 pm unless there is a Chapel Service, when the return is at 6.15 pm. For practical reasons, this does not include the first and the last weekends of term when boarders are expected to remain in school.

Boys may take up to two of these extra weekends in the spring and summer terms, and three in the autumn term. Some boarders take full advantage of these weekends, whilst quite a few choose to stay in and not take any at all. Very young boarders, or those in their first year of boarding, may take some weekends out in addition to these.
