Most schools varied the daily time table to some extent. This differed from school to school. These time table variations took different frms. The schools arranged field trips and excursions to take advantages of local sites that touched upon the curriculum. This depended on the loction of the school. There are museums of different kinds located all over the country. The historical are almost endless and range from Hadrians Wall in the north of England to the Hastings battlefield site in the south. One prep school is located close to Stonehenge and of course every school boy wants to visit the Tower of London. There are also many geological features to visit. Another common practice is to devote at least one afternoon a week to pursuits or clubs where the children can engage in a wide variety of different activitis.
Living amongst such magnificent surroundings provide an incentive for field work and every form spends at least half a day every term visiting specific sites related to their studies in History, Geography, Latin (Archaeology), Geology and Science.

We have a number of clubs run by the children, with staff assistance, to shich they are encouraged to belong. Enthusiasts fluctuate, but each according to his or her bent may garden, watch birds and animals, take up photography, make models, study astronomy or archaeological remains, in which the area is particularly rich. The Railway Club boats a fine Museum of steam-age relics and an elaborate model train layout.
