In School. Morning hours. 9.0 am to 12.30 pm in five periods with an interval of 20 minutes from 11 to 11.20.

Afternoon hours. In Winter: 4.30 to 6.30 in four periods of 30 minutes devoted to lessons or preparation or music or dancing.

In Summer: 2.0 to 4.0.

In addition to this, 30 minutes' preparation is done in the houses from 8.0 am to 8.30 am by all girls, and 60 minutes' preparation from 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm by the older girls.

Organised games are played from 2.10 pm to 3.20 pm daily in winter, and for a rather larger period on Saturday. Organised games are played from 4.30 pm to 6.0 pm daily in summer and rather longer on Wednesday and Saturday.

The girls are free on Saturday afternoons and evenings when not at play. On Sundays and whole holidays the girls have a fair amount of leisure.

There is a School Literary Society, Dramatic Society, Voluntary Part-Singing, School choir, and there are Assistant Editors (chosen from the girls) for the School Gazette.

The five or six girls at the top of each house act as house-monitors and much of the discipline of the house is in the hands of the Head of house. There is also a house captain who is responsible for the organisation of the house games. The Sixth Form act as School monitors, and are held responsible to a great extent for the discipline of the school.
