• Only in exceptional circumstances will permission be given for a pupil to leave before the end of term, or to arrive back after the term has begun. Requests should be addressed in writing to the Headmaster, or the Master of the Junior School, at least two weeks before the intended alteration of arrangements.
• Pupils living overseas should arrange their flights so that they do not have to leave school early, this usually means flying no earlier than the day after the end of term.
