Weekends

Since all students are boarders, the College tries to make Saturdays and Sundays interesting.

A varied programme of compulsory (students must do) and optional (students can choose) activities and excursions are offered, ranging from cultural visits to towns such as Salisbury, expeditions to cities such as Bath, ice-skating or cinema visits.

There are often sports matches, particularly against other boarding schools, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

Like most British boarding schools, the College has lessons on Saturday mornings, and there are also some supervised study periods on Sunday.

Sports matches often take place at the weekend. Each year there are usually two concerts, and other house drama or musical productions. These are often staged at weekends.
