Parents Handbook

11/12 Common Rooms These rooms are for the benefit of all and should not be used selfishly. The common rooms should be left in a clean and tidy state. Any dirty dishes etc. must be washed up before bedtime. Each boarder is expected to take his turn to wash up on a rota basis. All losses and breakages must be reported to the member of staff on duty immediately. Boarders’ Activities Activities run on a two week timetable, staffed by the Housemasters and Boarding Tutors. There is a daily activity Monday - Thursday 5.15-6.00pm for Year 7 and 8 and they are expected to participate fully. Years 9-11 have activity on Monday - Wednesday 6.00pm-7.00pm, whilst 6th formers and other senior students have use of the sports hall for two one hour sessions per week. There are two optional swimming pool sessions per week, open to all year groups from 6.00pm-6.45pm. All students in year 10 upwards have access to the Fitness Suite at designated times once they have completed a full gym induction with a member of staff. We have a range of house competitions, tournaments and debates taking place regularly throughout the year.
