TERM DATES
The term calendar, term dates and the dates of our Long Weekends can be found here. We would ask that you ensure that your holiday plans fit in with our dates, as it is not easy to have boys leaving early and returning late, unless for very special reasons. Requests for leaving early or returning late MUST BE MADE, IN WRITING, TO THE HEADMASTER (not to the Housemaster). This particularly applies to departure times for Long Leave weekends. On these occasions boys may only leave at 11.00a.m.

LONG LEAVE WEEKENDS
In the middle of each term we have a Long Weekend. This is usually from 11.00a.m. on the Thursday to 8.30p.m. on the Monday evening. Boys may spend this weekend with parents, relations or friends. Your son should know what his travel arrangements are at least ten days before the weekend.

LEAVES
In addition to Long Leaves weekends, boys may have two other leaves per term.

LEAVE TIMES FOR WEEKEND LEAVES
Boys may be out for Saturday night and Sunday, returning by 6.45p.m. on Sunday evening (in time for Chapel.)

They may leave after their Saturday sport commitment is over, but not before 1.00p.m. In the case of boys involved in 'away' fixtures, they may leave directly from the other school, provided they have conveyed their arrangements to their Housemaster beforehand.

In the Second Term and during the first 3 weeks of the Third Term, boys are encouraged to be here for home rugby fixtures which finish at 5.00p.m.

EXTRA LEAVE
As an extra leave, all boys may go out with parents or friends after the Hilton/Michaelhouse rugby matches in the Second and Third Term, and return by 6.45p.m. on the Sunday evening. (This exeat is not counted as one of the two leaves allowed per term.) Full details are provided for your son in the booklet Beacons.

LEAVE REQUEST FORMS
Parents will be required to fax or email a Leave Request form to the House Managers, before taking their son out. The deadline for Leave Requests is 1.00 p.m. on the Friday preceding the weekend he is taking leave.

Please send your email early on Friday to ensure it is received before 1.00p.m.
