What time can my son arrive from?

In Pre-Prep and Year 3, your son can arrive at school as early as 7.15am for our breakfast club, where he can tuck in to a healthy light breakfast and play with friends until school opens.

For Year 4 boys and above, they can join their boarding friends from 7.20am in the dining room for a full hot breakfast.

What time can my son stay until?

For the younger Pre-Prep boys, free 'Commoner' activities run until 4.45pm and then Supper Club is available with our dedicated After-School Club Co-ordinator until 6pm. We even build in time for one to one reading before you pick your son up and take him home.

For Prep boys, after-school activities ('Commoners') run from 5-6pm. After that, there is the option of supper with the boarders at a small charge, until 6.30pm.  Or they can stay until 7.30pm, to catch up with boarding buddies or do some homework. 

What After-School Clubs does Pilgrims’ offer?

After school, your son can enjoy a variety of nearly 50 activities, known in school as 'Commoners'. Warhammer, running, fencing, remote control car racing, football, judo, scuba diving, board games, to name but a few of the activities available. Read about our clubs. 

These are mostly run by staff and are free. They form an important aspect of a Pilgrims’ broader education, giving boys and staff alike the opportunity to extend and share interests beyond the classroom. Juniors and Seniors generally follow the same programme, which creates a great opportunity for boys to socialise and integrate across all the year groups. There is a charge for externally run activities. 

Is there food available after school?

For the younger boys in Pre-Prep, they are welcome to join us for Supper Club in the Main School dining room. This is a full hot meal to fill small stomachs, so parents don’t have to rush home and prepare food immediately.

If your son in Prep requires a hot meal, he can join his boarding friends for supper in the dining room at 6pm.
