Pupils should bring in their own supplementary snacks for the school day . One is consumed at morning break and the other prior to the commencement of the Co-Curricular Activity programme . Snacks should be healthy and filling .
We operate a nut-free campus so pupils must not bring anything containing nuts . Pupils in the Early Years are provided with appropriate morning and afternoon snacks . Senior pupils may purchase snack items from the dining hall during break time .

END OF THE DAY – COLLECTION AND DEPARTURE

If pupils are being collected from the College , the process is as follows :
Pre-Nursery , Nursery , Reception Pupils should be collected from their classrooms by an adult who is known to the class teacher . Parents should inform either the class teacher or Pre-Prep office if there is to be a different person collecting the pupil .
Years 1 to 4 Pupils should be collected from the main school lobby by an adult who is known to the class teacher . Parents should inform either the class teacher or the Pre-Prep / Prep office if there is to be a different person collecting the pupil . For pupils who travel home on the school bus , either the class teacher or the teaching assistant will take the pupils to the dining hall , which is the meeting point for handing over to the bus monitor .
Years 5 and above Pupils are asked to make their own way to the school bus or to meet with the designated adult collecting them . If the designated adult is not present , the pupils will be asked to report to the main school reception .

ABSENCE FROM THE COLLEGE

Taking time out of school can be disruptive to your child ’ s learning and is not viewed favourably by the College . If leave during term time is unavoidable and parents know in advance that their child will be absent from school , they must contact their child ’ s class teacher or housemaster as soon as possible .
If a pupil is going to be absent from school due to unforeseen circumstances , such as illness or bereavement , parents should contact their child ’ s class teacher / housemaster / school office via email before 09:00 . Alternately , parents can call the relevant school office :
