New Boarders Handbook 2021

Internet access is available via the School filtered network. Boarders must be aware that if they have internet access via a phone or other device they must only visit age appropriate material. This responsibility lies solely with the parent and individual student. Our recommendation is that no boarder should spend longer than 2 hours using any form of digital technology outside of schoolwork. Boarders should not be accessing the internet using a VPN (Virtual Private Network); this is a clear breach of the school IT policy. ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES MUST be PAT tested before being used. POCKET MONEY A pocket money account is available. You are strongly advised to be wise about the way you handle your finances. If you have a large sum of money you must deposit it immediately into the pocket money account run by the Housemaster (Academic) for safe keeping. Smaller sums of money should either be locked away in your cupboard or kept on person. Senior boys are encouraged to organise their own accounts with local banks in High Wycombe. Loss of money cannot be made good by the boarding staff or the School. Do not borrow money from other boarders; please ask a Housemaster if you need money. 14/15 DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY GUIDANCE
