There's always plenty to do when lessons and homework are done.
During the week, Grove boarders enjoy a full and varied Evening Activities Programme. At the weekend, they are have the option of participating in the Weekend Boarding Activities Programme. We also organise a number of Sunday Trips.
At the weekend, boarders are also able to make their own plans with friends, along with taking up opportunities to visit local amenities, events and clubs. Although there is only 1 Exeat Weekend a year, boarders can arrange leave to visit parents or friends via their Houseparent. Visitors and overseas parents are always welcome at The Grove. You and your children will find plenty to do and see within and around our school.
We ensure that there is plenty to choose from every weekend for our boarders to enjoy.
These activities are arranged to give breadth and choice and there is no additional cost. If boarders want to join in with a Sunday Trip, there will be a cost associated with participating in the activity and they will be made aware of this on the sign-up sheet.
Each term concludes with a celebratory event referred to as a “Grove Weekend”. The Christmas Ball, Easter Banquet and Summer Silly Olympics are all large-scale formal events where boarders come together with other invited members of our community to celebrate boarding life. Fair rides, chocolate fountains, disco’s, BBQs and fireworks are regular features at Grove Weekends!
