Electrical

equipment

We

recognise

that

you

will

have

lots

of

electrical

equipment

that

you

use

in

your

everyday

lives

and

as

part

of

your

studies.

It

is 

important

that

you

only

bring

what

you

need,

otherwise

there

won’t

be

enough

space

for

it. 

Home

comforts

Many

boys

bring

certain

home

comforts

with

them;

things

that

help

them

adjust

and

remind

them

of

home.

This

is

fine

as

long

as

you 

don’t

bring

too

much

stuff.

It

is

best

to

pack

light

until

you

get

a

good

idea

about

how

much

space

you

will

have

in

your

room.

You 

should

know

that

you

will

not

be

allowed

to

boil

water

or

cook,

or

toast

food

in

your

room

so

please

don’t

bring

any

cooking

equipment 

with

you.

The

house

kitchen

has

all

the

necessary

facilities

for

cooking. 

Valuables

You

will

have

many

valuable

items

at

home.

Before

you

bring

a

valuable

item

to

school

you

should

ask

yourself

whether

you

really 

need

it

at

school.

If

you

decide

you

do

need

it,

then

you

need

to

make

sure

it

is

kept

safe.

In

your

room

you

will

have

a

lockable 

drawer,

a

lockable

cupboard

and

a

safe

(operated

by

a

code 

that

you

can

set).

You

can

also

give

valuable

items

to

your 

Housemaster

to

look

after.

There

is

also

a

house

bank

for 

those

pupils

who

bring

their

pocket

money

to

school.

Most 

sixth

formers

have

their

own

bank

accounts

that

they

set

up 

with

English

banks.

This

means

that

they

can

keep

their 

money

safe

and

withdraw

it

when

they

need

to.

You

should 

speak

to

your

Housemaster

for

help

setting

up

a

bank 

account. 

Stationery

You

will

of

course

need

stationery

(pens,

pencils,

files,

paper, 

calculators

etc.)

for

your

time

at

school.

You

may

choose

to 

bring

this

with

you.

However,

if

you

feel

that

you

don’t

have 

space

in

your

luggage

there

are

several

shops

in

Abingdon 

where

you

can

buy

stationery.
