Health and Safety in the House You must keep your room/part of the dormitory tidy and free from litter. Furniture should not be moved in the rooms as everything has been placed carefully where it should be. You must not fix anything to the walls except on the pin boards provided in each room. Modest posters can be put up but must be taken down at the end of each term as this is part of the letting agreement for the holidays. Every girl is expected o take responsibility for the public spaces in the House, helping to create a tidy and homely environment. In addition, Matron regularly comes around and checks each room in the House. As part of this a weekly fire check is carried out. All electrical appliances must be PAT tested before arrival, or this will be undertaken when you arrive at school and charged to your account. Every study desk has power points and these can be used only for personal computers, lights and stereos. Under no circumstances should students bring in other electrical items such as televisions, toasters and kettles. Students have access to these in the House. You should familiarise yourself with the escape routes and fire procedures of the House. Regular fire drills are carried out each term. Juniors are not allowed to go into Sixth Form rooms unless they have been given permission. Similarly, Sixth Formers should not go into the junior dorms unless on duty or if they have asked permission from Mrs Muckalt.
