Important reminders 

High School students are to arrive early at school on the morning of departure

At High School, to ease congestion on the mornings of Monday 19th and Monday 26th January, the Residentials will have staggered departure times, as shown below. We suggest that students arrive at school 45 minutes before their departure time, when they can leave their luggage at a designated point and wait in their classrooms until departure. Heads of Year will email specific details for each Residential later this week.
