School premises are normally available during the school term and will not be available during school holidays (including public holidays). Facilities will not be available during examination periods.
Groups should ensure premises are vacated by the end of the let period. Lessees should allow enough time for putting away equipment, changing and so on.
Individual groups qualifying for block booking rates may find it more economical to apply for standard rate charges depending on their particular circumstances. Help will be provided by the school lets team.
