Tea & Prep (4-6pm)

Each morning during registration, your child will need to inform their teacher if they will be staying for tea that day.

• The first session (snack only) runs from 4 until 4.15pm. This is for children who are attending a co-curricular activity, who would like to have a snack and a drink before the club begins. Clubs run from 4.15-5.15pm
• Tea 1 is from 4-5.15pm
• Tea 2 is from 5.15-6pm

Tea is served at 4pm, usually in the dining hall and the menu varies daily. Pupils who are not taking part in co-curricular activities are expected to bring everything they need in order to do their homework, to work quietly without disturbing others and to have a reading book with them at all times. Once homework has been completed, younger pupils are allowed to play board games quietly and have access to drawing materials, word searches and crosswords. During most sessions, access to laptops is available should they be required for research or homework.

Pupils soon settle into the routine and make good use of the time available to them. At the end of the first session (5.15pm) pupils are escorted outside under the supervision of a member of staff.
