After school

School buses depart 15 minutes after the end of the school day and the canteen closes 15 minutes later than that. After that time you must either go home or be in one of the following places:

● the library which is open until 4.30 each day ● at a club or activity that is supervised by a member of staff ● the music area waiting for a lesson

If you are being collected from school by your parents and they are delayed then you must wait on the benches by the doors of the atrium.

If you have mislaid your bus pass ask the concierges for a temporary bus pass but if, after a thorough search, your bus pass is lost, then go to the School Office.

If you have a problem after school then go to the main School Office and ask for help.

Be polite

We are all part of an international community which lives and works together – we come from many different countries all with our own customs and cultures. Good manners help to make our school special, safe and caring and make daily life more enjoyable for us all. We expect everyone in our community – students, staff, parents and visitors – to be treated with respect and tolerance.

Always speak in a polite manner, say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, eat with good manners, walk on the right of the corridor and never drop litter. We expect doors to be held open for staff and visitors.

Bad language will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Guest students visiting the school

Former students are welcome to visit the school and must arrange this with the relevant head of year, well in advance. These visits may only take place during the lunch period.

Guests must make an appointment at least 24 hours prior to their visit by telephoning the main School Office. Visiting guests must sign in at the School Office where they will be issued with a badge. They must be accompanied by a current student at all times. They may not attend lessons and must follow the school rules when they are on site.
