Rehearsals are demanding, but a balance of time is given over to recreation with swimming, sports hall (including the staff/members indoor football match), tennis courts, snooker tables, TV/Video rooms, disco and staff cabaret. A large pastoral staff ensures that the younger members in particular find their recreational time filled with a choice of organised games and other pursuits.
