This information includes a variety of new club which will run in the Lent Term – Senior Rock Band, Wind & Brass Ensemble, Schola Cantorum Chamber Choir and Basketball with Guildford Heat. We are also delighted to announce that as a result of the floodlights being installed After-School Training, Tennis and Football will run for the duration of the term. Not only will you be able to see a programme of events, but also a brief explanation of each club and what is to be covered over the course of the term.

3.30 pm - 4.15 pm 4.15 pm - 5.00 pm 5.00 pm - 5.45 pm

All After-School Clubs (Sessions 2 & 3) will go to tea, prior to their activities (with the exception of after-school training). Parents will be charged for Tea, on the end of term bill.

If your son is in a Session 3 activity he will spend between 4.15 pm and 5.00 pm in prep class. (In these cases he will automatically be placed on the register)

The group allocation for both Cricket and Tennis will be ability based, grouping together boys of similar levels. This will, hopefully, allow the coaches to provide more specific coaching to benefit each boy’s development.

If, for any reason, a session has to be cancelled parents will be notified, at the earliest convenience, by the School’s texting service. The Pick Up point for each activity will be the Club’s venue, NOT the Chinese Gates.
