Our boarding houses are very fortunate to be in the middle of a town with a vibrant high street full of independant shops and restuarants. We have strict rules about where and when you can leave the boarding houses unsupervised.
Prep pupils cannot go anywhere without a U5, L6 or U6 buddy and then only as indicated below.
Remove, L5 and U5 pupils can only go out in groups of at least 2 pupils.
L6 and U6 pupils can go out on their own by prior arrangement only.
Every time you leave/return to the boarding house, you must sign in/out using the Reach app. Make sure you have your mobile phone and keycard with you at all times.
On weekdays, only between 16:20 and 17:00.
The closest supermarket is the Riverside Coop.
On weekends, boarders are allowed at times agreed with the duty staff.
Boarders are allowed to miss a meal (either lunch/dinner on Saturday or breakfast/lunch on Sunday) by prior arrangement with the boarding staff on duty.
L6 and U6 pupils with permission can go to the Gym in Strood between 16:20 and 18:00 or 19:00 and 21:00 provided they are up to date with all their prep and don't have any other obligations.
Boarders must have their own, active membership.
During the winter time when it's dark, going after dinner is best done in pairs.
