Going out

Always remember to sign in/out and to have your access lanyard with you. You should never give your lanyard to someone else.

1 During the day (and for whole-

School events in the evenings or at weekends such as services/ lectures) you may slide your magnet in/out

2 After each school day you need to sign in/out in the books by the office and state where you are going – even if you are going somewhere on campus

3 If you need to go off site during the day, you will need to both move your magnet and sign the book. In the books there is also a column headed ‘MoS’, in which you will need to place the initials of the member of staff who has given you permission to go

On weekdays you may go into town in the afternoon after lessons (after 5.00pm) if you have no other commitments, but please exercise some selfdiscipline. Meeting your deadlines and producing work of ahigh quality should be your priority. If you need to go to town during lesson time, please see Matron for an Exit Chit.

On weekdays you should be back on the School site by 6.00pm ready for supper at 6.10pm.

On weeknights you must be back in House after prep by 9.30pm, and on Saturdays by 10.30pm. Exceptions may be given if requested beforehand.

The first Saturday you are allowed to visit local public houses is in the Lent Term and at the discretion of the Headmistress; visits will only be in the evening after 7.30pm. No one may visit a pub during the week or on a Sunday at any time.

Pupils will be breathalysed before and after a School event where alcohol is served. The expectation is that no student should drink anything other than soft drinks, cider, beer or table wine. When drinking alcohol, two units should be the maximum.

School rules with regard to smoking/vaping apply at all times. All students are expected to carry their School ID cards, but those visiting public houses will also need their passport or driving licence as proof of age.Good sense and moderation will ensure that all is well.

Yeovil, Bath, Salisbury and Exeter: You are allowed to go to the above places on a Saturday or Sunday, but you should ask permission from the member of staff on duty. You may not miss any school commitments or services. While there, bars and public houses are out of bounds.
