Weekends see boarders participate in their own extra-curricular activities which range from cinema trips to sports fixtures, theatre outings, outdoor education and residential experiences. The pupils themselves generate many activities and are able to express ideas for the smooth running of the house through year group committees, food committee and an overall house committee. The Heads of House (S6 pupils) play an active role in promoting pupil involvement. ‘Pupil Voice’ is central to decision making and these committees make a difference to how the house runs.

Academic support is provided in the evening both by the resident staff and teachers from the school who provide tutorial support during the evening homework period.
