FAQ

Is it useful to have a mobile phone? Mobile phones are useful but not compulsory. There are some ‘mobile-free zones’, such as the dining rooms, the School Hall and Gransden Hall.Mobile phones are not permitted in the Main School during the school day. Remember, you can phone home at any time you are in House, even if you have not got your mobile with you. Just ask the member of staff on duty, and they will let you use the House phone in a private space. We also have phone free days which help us to have a digital detox and focus on time with our friends rather than time on a screen.

Is there anywhere I can keep my things safe? We recommend that you hand in anything of value, including money and passports, to be safely locked away. All rooms and ‘cues’ have a lockable drawer that you can also keep precious items in. Your Matron will give you a key, but please be aware that, should you lose it, you will be charged£15 for a replacement.

What do I do if I don’t feel well? Firstly, tell the House staff. If you need to go to the Health Centre, your teacher may also give you a purple slip. If you want to see a nurse but don’t want to tell anyone, you can ‘drop in’ to the Health Centre without needing a purple slip any weekday after school.
