Coming
and
going
from
the
House
What
are
Registration
and
Signing
out?
We
are
required
by
law
to
know
where
you
are
at
any
time
while
you
are
in
our
care.
There
are
a
number
of
times
in
the
day
when
you
will
need
to
register
in
the
House
with
the
member
of
staff
on
duty.
These
are
usually
at
8.30am,
5.00pm
and
7.00pm
during
the
week,
and
at
different
times
at
the
weekend.
It
is
very
important
that
you
do
not
miss
these.
We
believe
it
is
healthy
for
our
boarders
to
be
allowed
to
leave
the
house.
If
you
wish
to
leave
the
school
site
at
any
time
you
need
to
get
permission
from
your
Housemaster,
the
house
matron
or
from
the
Tutor
on
duty
-
this
is
called
‘signing
out’.
After
7pm
you
need
permission
to
leave
the
boarding
house
to
go
anywhere.
You
are
also
expected
to
tell
them
when
you
return
to
the
House.
We
do
not
believe
in
forcing
you
to
stay
in
over
the
weekend
and
in
special
circumstances
(for
example
if
your
parents
are
visiting
from
abroad)
you
may
be
allowed
out
during
the
week.
If
you
want
to
stay
out
of
the
House
overnight
then
your
Housemaster
will
need
confirmation
from
your
parents
or
guardian
before
you
will
be
allowed
out.
If
you
are
not
going
to
be
staying
with
your
parents
or
guardian
your
Housemaster
will
also
need
confirmation
from
the
adult
you
will
be
staying
with.
Leaving
the
house
We
are
required
by
law
to
know
where
you
are
at
all
times.
Therefore
if
you
wish
to
leave
the
school
site
at
any
time
you
need
to
get
permission
from
your
house
matron,
your
Housemaster
or
the
Tutor
on
duty.
After
7pm
in
the
evening
you
need
permission
from
one
of
those
people
if
you
would
like
to
leave
the
grounds
of
the
boarding
house.
If
you
wish
to
leave
the
house
overnight
(permission
to
do
this
will
not
normally
be
granted
on
a
weeknight)
then
your
Housemaster
will
need
permission
from
your
parents/guardian
and
(if
you
are
not
staying
with
your
parents/guardian)
the
responsible
adult
you
are
staying
with.
It
is
possible
that
your
Housemaster
will
not
let
you
out
(but
this
is
only
likely
if
you
are
in
trouble
or
there
is
a
compulsory
event
that
you
need
to
attend).
If
you
wish
to
leave
the
house
and
miss
school
for
any
other
reason
(for
example
work
experience
or
important
family
occasions)
then
you
should
request
permission
from
your
Housemaster
who
is
able
to
grant
permission
for
up
to
a
day
off
school.
For
periods
of
time
longer
than
this,
then
your
parents
will
need
to
write
to/email
Mr
David
Dawswell,
the
Second
Master.
If
you
wish
to
miss
a
sports
fixture
that
you
have
been
selected
for
you
will
also
need
to
write
to
ask
permission
from
Mr
Dawswell
one
week
in
advance
of
the
event,
and
you
will
also
need
to
ask
your
coach.
Overnight
Leave
We
believe
it
is
healthy
for
our
boarders
to
be
allowed
to
leave
the
house.
We
do
not
believe
in
forcing
you
to
stay
in
over
the
weekend
and
in
special
circumstances
(for
example
if
your
parents
are
visiting
from
abroad)
you
may
be
allowed
out
during
the
week.
However,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
that
nothing
bad
happens
to
you
while
you
are
in
our
care.
As
a
result
there
are
rules
about
leaving
the
house.
If
you
want
to
stay
out
of
the
House
overnight
then
your
Housemaster
will
need
confirmation
from
your
parents
or
guardian
before
you
will
be
allowed
out.
If
you
are
not
going
to
be
staying
with
your
parents
or
guardian
your
Housemaster
will
also
need
confirmation
from
the
adult
you
will
be
staying
with
(for
example
if
you
are
staying
overnight
with
a
friend
who
is
a
dayboy
then
your
Housemaster
would
also
contact
his
parents
to
check
that
they
are
expecting
you).
The
start
and
end
of
term
At
the
end
of
each
term
your
Housemaster
needs
to
receive
the
details
about
where
you
are
going
to
stay
from
your
parents/
guardian.
This
is
extra-important
for
you
if
you
are
studying
in
the
UK
on
a
Visa.
Your
Housemaster
also
needs
to
know
when
to
expect
you
to
return
to
the
school
after
the
holiday.
Again
this
information
should
come
from
your
parents
prior
to
your
departure
on
holiday.
If
you
are
delayed
for
any
reason
your
parents
must
inform
your
Housemaster
so
that
he
knows
when
to
expect
you.
We
strongly
discourage
boys
arriving
late
at
the
beginning
of
term
and
leaving
early
at
the
end
of
term,
as
it
is
disruptive
to
both
their
education
and
the
rest
of
the
class..
Any
absences
should
very
much
be
the
exception
rather
than
the
rule,
and
any
request
for
absence
should
be
made
to
the
Headmaster.
