Going out with parents

The Windmill social centre for the sixth form is back up and running and events will be held there for either Year 12, Year 13 or both. It is a privilege for the older students, but is also the opposite end of the school campus from house so a timely return is key.

There is usually a Whole-School Mass in the Abbey Church on a Sunday morning, followed by a formal house lunch at 1.00 pm (although in the summer term we usually have a House barbeque) and you will then have the rest of the afternoon free until prep time from 5.00 until 7.00 pm. There will be ample opportunity to attend trips and details of these are circulated at the start of each term, you should, as always, commit to as many of these as possible as they very much enrich your boarding experience.

Going out with parents

In your first term it is important to get the right balance between parental visits and settling into the House and School. I would be delighted if your parents were to visit, though sometimes I will advise them not to take you out if there is a social event or other commitment. You will, of course, have games or activities on a Saturday afternoon, but you may go out with your parents after these and you may stay out overnight provided you are back for Mass on Sunday morning.

Your parents should email/ring me to say that they are coming, and this is especially important if you are asking

take other boys out over the course of the weekend.

allow you to invite up to three other students out, though I will need to get permission from their own parents. to
