There are detailed and effective policies, an appropriate committee chaired by the bursar as safety officer, and a determination to ensure as far as possible the safety and welfare of all who use the school premises. A small number of relatively minor matters have been mentioned to the bursar for attention. Back to the top Pupils personal development, behaviour and welfare The friendly and pleasant atmosphere, based on Christian principles, which pervades the school, does much to encourage pupils in their spiritual and moral development. There is a worthwhile programme of compulsory and voluntary Christian worship led by the chaplain, and an excellent PSE programme also supports pupils moral development. There is ample opportunity for social and cultural development, through the house structure and responsibilities provided there, and through the many activities and trips outside the school, which exist to broaden horizons and stimulate interest.
Pupils are friendly, courteous and well behaved.
They show proper regard for each other and enjoy relaxed, respectful relations with staff. Good order and discipline are the responsibility of the second master, assisted by the deputy head, the housemasters and housemistresses, and the head of lower school. The house staff are central to the very supportive and effective care and guidance provided for each individual. Their role is complemented by the Listening Service initiative, the school counsellor and chaplain, the nurses in the sanatorium and the librarian. The prefects have an important role which also contributes to the strongly caring ethos of house and school.
