Although we are back to normal school activities, we may well have to review the composition of the groupings for some of the activities should Covid restrictions in relation to ‘Bubbles’ again be enforced.

We will be using our online booking system ‘SchoolsBuddy’ and Booking opens on Sunday, 5 December at 4.00pm and all applications must be received by Thursday, 9 December at 10.00am.

If you have never used SchoolsBuddy before, you should have received a welcome email from them asking you to register/open your account (please check your junk/spam folder).  Please let us know if you have not received their welcome email well before the booking date.

Please read the following and the activities listed below very carefully. 

  • There are an allocated number of participants for each activity and once the specific activity is fully booked, the system will not accept any more names. Please do not contact the school asking to be added to a fully booked activity. We understand your disappointment, but cannot accommodate more than the allocated number to each activity at this time.
  • LCM Drama is available from Years 3 – 8, please contact Mr Perret direct at cutandthrust@me.com
  • There are activities that take place during set times during the school day and the timings for the LCM Drama and Rifle Club will be forwarded to the boys and posted around the school. The LCM Drama runs throughout the school day on a Wednesday and Thursday. We will endeavour to ensure that these sessions do not clash with music lessons.
  • Tennis – Please only book your son for one session a week, so that other boys have a chance to participate.
  • Remember – it is also your responsibility to check whether your son has no other commitments that might clash before you sign up. Please don’t sign up for an activity thinking that it is a good idea to do so only to find out later that your son had no interest in attending the activity that you had chosen. This causes administrative problems and prevents a really keen prospective boy from participating in that activity.
  • There will be no refunds forthcoming once you have committed your son to an activity unless there is a very special circumstance.
  • If an activity leader has had to cancel for any acceptable reason, the activity coordinator will endeavour to make up the session whenever this is possible. It is, however, also reasonable to accept that a session may not be able to be rescheduled during the term, this due to illness or a staff member being tasked to accompany a year group on a field trip.  We will then arrange for a refund to your SchoolsBuddy account.
  • New Beacon Clubs and Activities will not take place during the first and last week of the term.  Activities are all scheduled to commence in the week beginning Monday, 10 January 2022 for 5 weeks before half-term and then for 4 weeks after half until Friday, 18 March 2022.
  • Please remember that you must sign up for activities on a termly basis, which is a commitment only for that specific term.  This does not, however, apply to LCM Drama. The information shown below is for the Spring Term 2022 only.

Please note the ending times and collection points for all of the activities.  If the collection time is inconvenient, After School Wraparound Care is now available to book in advance by following the link below (password needed).
