For boys living locally or in London, Woodcote House offers all the benefits of a classic private education combined with an enviable range of opportunities.<\/p>\n
They can start aged 7 (Year 3) and leave us in Year 8, having taken their Common Entrance or Scholarship exams.<\/p>\n
Day Boys have access to all the opportunities available to our Boarders during the week. One obvious benefit for parents is that their son\u2019s homework, sport, music and hobbies are all factored into the school day and undertaken in a safe, supervised environment. This means that boys can enjoy time at home with the family without any homework to worry about.<\/p>\n
Boys arrive at school by 8.20am to start the day with Assembly and Registration. After a full day of lessons and sport, boys are picked up between 5.20 – 6.00pm. If they are involved in early evening activities, they will have supper at school and go home later.<\/p>\n
On Exeat weekends (every third weekend) all Boys finish school on Thursday at 4.30pm and return first thing on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
In the summer term, Exeats run from 4.30pm on Friday to Tuesday morning to coincide with the summer Bank Holidays<\/p>\n
GRADUATING TO BOARDING<\/h2>\n
Woodcote operates a \u2018graduated approach\u2019 to boarding and Day Boys can get a taste of boarding by staying at school on a Taster Boarding night.\u00a0 These are offered each term and many boys then choose to start boarding one or two nights a week.. This option is very popular, particularly with the younger boys. Often, it\u2019s boys themselves who ask to board, allowing them to take full advantage of the opportunities offered in the evenings.<\/p>\n
Although not compulsory, the majority of Day Boys do choose full or weekly boarding in their final years as this is an excellent preparation for Senior School.<\/p>\n

BUS SERVICES FROM LONDON<\/h2>\n
We operate two daily bus services from London. Our SW London Service picks up from Tibbet\u2019s Corner, just off the A3, close to Wandsworth and Wimbledon at 7.00am.<\/p>\n
Our West London Service picks up at the junction of Munster Road and Kingwood Road at 7.05am, and then at Barons Court Tube station at 7.15am.<\/p>\n
Boys are returned between 5.45-6.15pm with all homework complete \u2013 Woodcote parents find this particularly helpful.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nMany boys start their time at Woodcote House as a Day Boy and can start from age of seven (Year 3). Some join in other year groups subject to availability and stay until the end of Year 8, taking Common Entrance or Scholarship at 13+.\u00a0 Local parents are advised that Day Boy places are taken up very quickly.\r\n\r\nThe week starts on Monday at 8.20 am and Day Boys immediately join with the Boarders for assembly, registration and their supervised Prep time. Day Boys join in all the activities and make use of all the facilities available to Boarders. Day Boys are picked up each weekday at 5.40 pm or at 6.10pm depending on age. If they have been involved with early evening activities they will have had supper with the Boarders\u00a0which is charged at \u00a32.50 per meal.\r\n\r\nSaturday morning school finishes at 12.35 pm when Day Boys are collected after chapel and parents are welcome to stay for lunch. Pupils selected for school matches in the afternoon will stay at school for lunch. At Exeat weekends (and at Half Term) school finishes for all Day Boys at 12 noon on Friday and the boys return on Tuesday morning (Monday if it\u2019s a Short Exeat).\r\n\r\nMany Day Boys become Part-Boarders for two or three nights per week, giving them the opportunity to sample life as a Boarder and join in the fun, particularly on Friday evenings when there is always special entertainment laid on.","_et_gb_content_width":"","_analytify_skip_tracking":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"dipi_cpt_category":[],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1398"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1398"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14221,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1398\/revisions\/14221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dipi_cpt_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.woodcotehouseschool.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dipi_cpt_category?post=1398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
