A weekend of fun, rest and relaxation with friends

There are six Leave Out Weekends each year which are carefully planned around academic commitments. Our 'Stay in for Leave Out' (SIFLO) programme combines the chance to visit some amazing cities, join fun and exciting trips to historic and cultural attractions and take part in a range of exhilarating outdoor and sporting activities. By balancing these activities with downtime for relaxation with friends that every pre-teen and teenager needs, girls are able to make the most of the wonderful setting and facilities of QM.

During these weekends, the QM Family feel comes to the fore, with girls from across the year groups joining together in a dedicated ‘sleepover’ boarding house, cementing friendships and encouraging new connections.

This programme is, of course, subject to change, in light of current Covid-19 restrictions.

Pau (LVI) told us her thoughts about a SIFLO weekend she took part in:

"I like how Leave Out lets overseas girls like me get to see new cultures and traditions. Leave Out makes a great experience to everyone because you get to not only know other people, but new cities and teachers. It is especially good to know that we are all a family."
