SCHOOL RULES AND INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Churcher’s College is a co-educational independent day school with a high reputation. Its good name depends on the conduct and appearance of its pupils, who must always behave in a responsible manner, both in school and outside.
SCHOOL HOURS
School begins at 8.30am and finishes at 4.00pm.
Under normal circumstances, pupils should not be on the school premises before 8.00am.
Unless pupils are involved in an activity supervised by a member of staff, they should be out of the school buildings by 4.15pm and be off site by 4.45pm. Duty staff are available during this time to monitor pupils leaving and to try to ensure a safe departure. Pupils waiting to be collected should remain behind the bollards at the front of Old College. Only pupils who are attending an after school activity or working in the library may remain on the school premises until 5.30pm. The exception to this is Sixth Form students who may remain in the Ramshill Sixth Form Centre until 6.00pm.
The school is aware that occasionally transport arrangements break down. In such circumstances pupils should come to the School Office in order that they may contact parents.
Pupils who cannot be collected at the end of school may work in a supervised environment in the library until 5.30pm.
ABSENCE
Absence due to illness: When your child is absent from school due to ill health, you should inform the school by 9.00am on each day of absence. This can be done by telephoning and leaving a message at the School Office or by emailing absence@churcherscollege.com. If this communication is not received, the school will endeavour to contact you at home, by 10.30am at the latest, to ascertain the reason for absence.
If the absence persists for a five day period, you should email absence@churcherscollege.com or your child’s Form Tutor giving more details.
Absence requests: Absences for normal medical and dental appointments should also be notified to the School Office by email to absence@churcherscollege.com and copied to the Form Tutor. Requests for non-medical or longer absences should be submitted to the Headmaster in writing. School policy is to grant such leave only in exceptional circumstances in order to avoid a detrimental effect upon the education of the pupil concerned.
CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS
In all cases we wish to encourage a close rapport between school staff and families. This relationship can often resolve issues at first hand and assist in the development of our sense of community.
All members of the school wish to be informed if there are any matters about which pupils and parents are unhappy.
In the 1st to 5th Year, the normal lines of communication for pastoral issues will be through the Form Tutor, Head of House, Senior Teacher (Pastoral), Deputy Head (Pastoral) and then to the Headmaster. Academic issues should be raised with the Form Tutor, subject teachers, or Heads of Department or Head of Faculty. Also the Deputy Head (Academic) and Headmaster can be contacted if appropriate.
All students have a Personal Tutor throughout their two years in the Sixth Form. The tutor will generally act as an adviser over academic and other matters. The Head of Sixth Form and Deputy Heads of Sixth Form are also available for advice, in conjunction with the Heads of House.
Parents who wish to make a formal complaint, should write directly to the Headmaster except when the complaint is against the Headmaster when they should write to the Chair of Governors at the school address (c/o The Clerk to the Governors at bursar@churcherscollege.com). For further details, please see the school’s Complaints Policy and Procedures, which is published on the school’s website and available in hard copy on request from the School Office.
Any complaint that involves an allegation of abuse will be dealt with according to the school’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy and Procedures, which will normally involve referral to Children’s Services and, where appropriate, the Police in line with Hampshire Safeguarding Children Partnership procedures.
SAFEGUARDING AND CHILD PROTECTION
Churcher’s College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The following members of staff have specific responsibility for child protection in the Senior School:
Designated Safeguarding Lead:
Mr Chris Jones, Deputy Head (Pastoral)
Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads: Mr Richard Hoe, Senior Teacher (Wellbeing, Inclusion and Safeguarding)
Mrs Suzanne Herrington, Senior Teacher (Pastoral)
Mr William Baker, Head of Sixth Form
The School has an online reporting system, Confide, through which pupils can raise concerns, including the option to do so anonymously. The Confide app appears on the desktop of school computers, irrespective of whether the pupil is logged on to the network or not.
POLICIES
The latest versions of the school’s key regulatory policies are published on the school’s website at www.churcherscollege.com and are available in hard copy on request from the School Office.
ASSEMBLIES
Assemblies commence at 8.35am following morning registration. There is a Whole School Assembly every Thursday in the Sports Hall.
House Assemblies usually take place once every two weeks, and are as follows:
Monday: Collingwood & Grenville
Tuesday: Nelson
Wednesday: Drake & Rodney
Section Assemblies (for a year group(s)) generally take place on Friday.
The venues for House and Section Assemblies vary between the Donald Brooks Auditorium, Lecture Theatre and Sports Hall. Pupils will be directed to the correct venue by their Form Tutor.
THE HEALTH & WELLBEING CENTRE
Mr Hoe, the Senior Teacher (Wellbeing, Inclusion and Safeguarding) has overall responsibility for the Health & Wellbeing Centre, which is located opposite the MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area).
The School Nurses are based in the Health & Wellbeing Centre. Unless there is an emergency, pupils must first get the permission of a member of staff before visiting the Nurses.
The School Counsellor, Mrs Wakeland, is available to meet with pupils in the Health & Wellbeing Centre.
Pupils can make an appointment to see Mrs Wakeland by emailing her directly (counsellor@churchersollege.com) or by making an appointment in confidence through the School Nurses or via the online booking system.
