Activities and Field Trips
The Junior Department offers a wide
range of trips and activities within and outside
normal school hours. These activities are a key
part of the all round education of children at
the School.
There are activities between 4-5pm
each day and junior pupils are encouraged to participate
in these at least times 3 a week. There are often
activities later in the evening too and swimming
is a particularly popular option 2-3 times a week.
Weekends start with Saturday morning
school followed by lunch and often a trip to the
shops in Redhill. Saturday evenings in Rank Weston
house often involve a video and chill time. With
so much going on during the week it is good for
children to have time to relax in an unstructured
way with their friends during the weekends. Sunday
mornings start fairly slowly and there are optional
activities/trips on Sunday afternoons. The weekend
concludes with Chapel on Sunday evening and all
Juniors are requested to attend.
