Evenings & Weekends

Trinity School

Prep Department Boarding pupils (up to the age of 11 years) and those in Years 7 & 8 have at least one organised trip or activity at the weekend.

Pupils in Years 9, 10 and 11 are allowed into Teignmouth if they obtain permission from Boarding Staff. Sixth Form students must sign out and in whenever they leave and return to the premises. Various sports clinics as well as workshops are offered on some evenings and weekends.

Boarders in Years 11 and below attend Church, or an assembly in Chapel, on Sundays. Boarders are expected to wear smart home clothes when attending Church or Chapel.

In the middle of each Half Term, a weekend is designated as Exeat weekend and pupils are required to go home or stay with their guardians or with friends when possible.

Boarders are encouraged to join outside groups, clubs and organisations. Written permission in advance will be required from parents or guardians before boarders are allowed to participate in high-risk activities whether arranged by the School or by outside organisations.

House staff will not be able to authorise overnight stays away from the school. If parents wish to authorise such stays, written permission can be sent by post, fax or e-mail and the School will then allow the pupil to go, provided that staff are happy that the arrangements are safe and appropriate.

Social events are organised regularly, both on and off-site, designed appropriately for the various age groups. We recognise that it is important for Boarders to learn to develop socially with appropriate restrictions in place to ensure their safety and well-being
