Parents receive termly reports on all subjects studied and may remain in close contact with their son's academic achievement through his Housemaster and Tutor. Full details of the curriculum are included with this prospectus. Outside the normal academic curriculum there is, throughout a boy's school career, provision for non-examined study in optional subjects, cultural appreciation, arts, craft, music, current affairs, and physical recreation. A number of scientific, artistic, literary and other societies exist to foster an interest beyond the classroom and the study. Educational visits, fieldwork, expeditions and guest speakers are all regular features of the various courses.
All boys undertake a set period of formal prep in their Houses on weekday evenings.
This is supplemented by designated quiet times throughout the week. When a boy enters the Sixth Form he is allowed a number of private study periods during school hours when he may work in the school buildings, the School or Departmental Libraries, or other resource areas. As he progresses through his A level courses he is given an increased opportunity to develop and organise his own pattern of study under the guidance of his Housemaster, individual Tutor, Form Master and subject teachers. Careers Great emphasis is placed on effective higher education and careers guidance. Boys are encouraged to make full use of the breadth of information available to them in the Careers Room, and to seek advice from their Housemasters and the staff Careers Team.
