Games afternoons are as follows:

The main sports are:

Autumn Rugby Training at Northern Rugby Club

Spring Football Training at Complete Football

Summer Cricket Training at South Northumberland Cricket Club

 

Other sports are available through the activities programme and are usually organised at lunch times or after school.

It is recommended that all boys playing Rugby should wear a GUM SHIELD.

In Cricket, all school boys must wear a helmet whilst batting.

 

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TUITION

Individual music lessons in a wide range of instruments are available – details can be obtained from the school office. Instrumental music lessons normally take place in lesson time, but rotate each week so that each academic subject would not normally be missed more than once each half term. Boys are expected to let their teachers know that they have a music lesson and catch up on any class work missed, as well as complete homework set during the lesson. Beginners are welcome at any age.

LUNCH

Lunch is cooked daily for the boys on all three sites and the cost is included in the term’s fees. Sodexho provide our catering services and a duty catering manager oversees the daily arrangements.

There is a choice of main course, a vegetarian option, soup, baked potatoes with various and a selection of salads. Hot pudding, fruit and yoghurt is also offered.

If your son has special dietary needs please speak to in the first instance his form tutor or Mrs T Oakley(Catering Manager).

We paln to start a morning break service in September where boys will be able to buy healthy snacks. If this is successful we may also offer breakfast later in the school year.
