Post-Common Entrance A potentially trying time for boys, parents and staff alike! The pressure is off, so this is a wonderful opportunity for the boys to experience a host of activities that they would not normally encounter at school. The main aim is to keep them busy whilst allowing them to let off steam and so, whilst they continue to play games, they go on many more outings including a week’s outward-bound course, do community service, prepare a dramatic performance from scratch, and so forth. Lessons take a back seat, whilst not of course being entirely forgotten.
