Assemblies take place on Mondays and Fridays. Students are encouraged to take assemblies, either as part of their Tutor Group, after attending Round Square events, or about subjects they are passionate about. Staff also take assemblies, and often use these to encourage students to think about wider global events.
After school there is a great variety of clubs, matches and activities, as well as Supper and Prep time.
Our Saturday Morning Programme is designed to complement academic lessons and provide opportunities to learn through experience. Activities vary each week and can include workshops, adventure mornings, and trips. Not every Saturday is compulsory for everyone. A full programme is published at the start of the academic year and made available to Parents.
Curriculum Enhancement Week
During the last week of the Summer Term, our normal timetable is exchanged for a series of workshops, activities and trips. It is a week of challenge, adventure – quite often laughter – and the chance to learn some new and unusual skills.
The week is an expression of fundamental Round Square belief that there is much more to education than classrooms and textbooks. It truly is a week where students can discover that “there is more in you than you think”.
Activities are usually creative, adventurous, cultural and physical or a combination of these and are designed to introduce students to new experiences and test their own limits. For younger years, the week may involve a residential adventure trip, or a series of workshops and outings that complement their curriculum. For older years, there may be eye-opening work experience, or the chance to complete Internal Assessments, attend workshops and prepare for the university application process. It is an ideal way to end the academic year.
Meals
Day Students are always welcome to come to School early and join Boarders for breakfast and stay for supper through until bedtime, or even flexi-board.
Our Catering Team work tirelessly to ensure they serve delicious, nutritious food throughout the day, starting with breakfast, when students can enjoy a variety of hot or cold options. At lunch and supper, a hot meal and vegetarian option are available, as well as a well-stocked salad bar. Our Catering Team are conscious of individual allergies and ensure they are kept aware of these. Day Students often join Boarders for supper, particularly when there are rehearsals or clubs to attend.
Our Catering Team are always open to hearing the students’ views on the food. This can range from suggesting new Vegan recipes to try and sampling new dishes, to asking for more of a certain meal. Students also have the opportunity to suggest meals – and occasionally help cook them – for internationally themed days.
Whenever the School has an event, the kitchen is always keen to join in – whether that’s cooking Christmas Dinner for the whole School community, or rising to the challenge to produce a meal in keeping with a themed non-uniform day – such as yellow foods for ‘Hello Yellow’ on World Mental Health Day!
Our menu reflects the multi-cultural community at the School and responds to the Government’s Healthy Eating Standards guidance. In addition to the main menu, our chefs prepare fresh salads daily, and Baked Potatoes are also available. Please note that the menu is subject to change depending on supplies and deliveries.
