Activities, Rewards & Sanctions

Rewards & Sanctions

We want to support an active, inclusive and happy community in Abbey House, and we want to celebrate your success! We encourage working together as a group/community and such instances deserve praise. For example, if you keep the Boarding House and your rooms clean and tidy, if you help the house parents plan and organise activities, or you get involved in community volunteering we will celebrate.

The Boarding Rules are in place to keep you and the rest of the house safe, support your learning and to comply with UK law. If you break the rules the boarding team will meet with you to discuss your behaviour and agree a plan of action for future compliance. If you continue to break the rules, you will incur sanctions and be referred to the Head of House, your parents will also be informed.
