8pm CURFEW and SPECIAL PERMISSIONS PASS

Passes

A new pass has been designed for students wishing to be off site after 8:00pm, we welcome students going out for dinner, attending club, activities, sports, cinema trips, bowling and all other imaginable activities. These passes must be approved prior to your departure as with all passes and whilst on these passes you must always be contactable by mobile phone.

Pass examples may be:

• Meals out

• Music events

• Cinema trips

• Bowling

• Workshops

• Cultural events

• Sports clubs

• Societies attendance

Weekends

The on site curfew of 8pm runs for 7 days a week for students age over 15 years old

What is the pass submission deadline?

Ideally, prior to 5pm on the same day however we realise that life is busy and plans can be last minute. If you do not have a chance to submit it before 8pm, just see a member of the boarding team who will very likely be happy to support your request. We will always be flexible where we can as we appreciate that this is your home as well as your place of study.

Where can I go?

There are many options available to select from already under the special permissions list though if you are planning to go somewhere outside of the list, simply list it as the address. The only limitation is that students cannot simply "hang out" on a street corner or in a place that lacks purpose.

Can I just go for a walk?

Following guidance from Kent police, students should not be going for walks on their own, nor is it advisable after dark. If you need to do so, please see a member of staff as some students already have.

How do I sign back in?

Either see a member of staff on site or use the NFC kiosks in your boarding house, these are inside the doors to all boarding houses. This function only exists on the ORAH APP

What sort of offsite/ onsite feedback do you want/ have you received?

We have already received requests for on site bands, floodlights for the MUGA, boot camps, chainsaw carving, bonfires, medic workshops, self defence classes, UFC type training, LAN E-sports and much more... but we need more ideas!
