Parent Handbook 2021

Discipline Rules The School Rules are printed in the Almanac and are designed to ensure the welfare and safety of pupils and the smooth running of the College. It is important for the partnership that must exist between the school and parents that parents understand and support the College’s rules.

If there is any doubt, please consult the child’s Housemaster or Housemistress.

Dress The school clothing regulations are printed in the Almanac and clothes lists (page 60) itemise what is required. All clothes sent to school, including informal clothing, must be named.

Parents of day pupils should ensure that their children come to school properly dressed, and boarders must have enough clothing to meet the requirements of the weekly school laundry.

School uniform must be worn throughout the school day; day pupils are expected to arrive and leave in uniform. Informal dress may be worn after 5.30pm on Tuesday and Thursday, after 7.00pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and after 12.00pm on Saturdays.

Pupils are expected to dress formally for Chapel and other official occasions on Sundays but otherwise they may wear smart casual dress.

Lost Property Any private property found around the College will be handed to the College Proctor.

All valuable items will be sent direct to the Security Lodge where a log will be kept. Pupils may re-claim their lost property from the College Proctor. Valuables can be reclaimed from Security.

Prefects The Master appoints about twenty senior pupils to be Prefects in June of the Lower Sixth year and may add to these in January. The role of the Prefect is: • To lead the school by example in terms of appearance, attitude, conduct, initiative and integrity; • To be reliable, conscientious and trustworthy; 42
