WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I...
by RGS
...feel ill while I’m at school?
Tell your teacher . You can then sit quietly in the lesson or your teacher may send you to the Health and Wellbeing Centre. If you feel ill during break, tell a friend or go to the Health and Wellbeing Centre. If you are really unwell your parents will be contacted, do not contact your parents yourself.
...need to leave during the school day?
You must have an Absence Request Form (available on the Parent Portal) if you need to leave school during the day. This form must be emailed to your Form Tutor and absence@ reigategrammar.org by your parents in advance. When you leave the school you must go to School Office to sign out. If you return during the school day you must sign back in.
...am upset?
If you are upset about anything during the school day you should see your Form Tutor, Miss Carraro, Mrs Leck or the Wellbeing Centre. These members of staff are always there to listen to you, no matter how big or how small the problem.
...can’t find a lesson?
Try to stick together with people from your form but if you do get lost, look at your timetable and your map or ask somebody. If you still can’t find where you are supposed to be don’t worry! Go to the Porters’ Desk next to the main entrance or the School Office and they will help you find your classroom.
...need to buy food?
On your first day you will be required to scan your finger print so you can use the biometric payment system in the dining hall. This can be topped up through the RGS Parent Online Payment system. Food can be purchased at break and lunch time.
...arrive at school late?
If it is before 8.50am, you should go to your Form, if it is after 8.50am you need to go to the Studio Café. If it is after 9am, you must go to the Health and Wellbeing Centre and register there with the School Office or Pastoral Team.
...need to stay at school after the day’s lessons have finished?
Although school finishes at 3.50pm you may stay on the premises until 6.00pm and, unless you are in a supervised club, you should go to the library. The library is a good place to visit after school has finished, or during break and lunchtime. You can use the library for doing homework as well as for borrowing a wide range of books. The library is open and staffed until 6.00pm each day. Students should be collected by 6.00pm.
...have been absent from school?
If you are ill or for some unexpected reason cannot attend school, your parents should contact absence@ reigategrammar.org copying in your Form Tutor. Always try to catch up on missed class work and homework if possible; teachers are very happy to photocopy work you have missed, which you can then stick into your book, or to spend a lunchtime going over anything you don’t understand.
