New Boarders Handbook 2021

24/25 7) House Rules& Guidance REWARDS The whole house system works on students and staff trusting one another. If boys are trustworthy and make sensible decisions then staff will be inclined to use their professional judgement and discretion on allowing students to visit local shops, cinema, etc. If boys show maturing attitudes and leadership qualities they will be given responsibilities within the house and extra privileges to acknowledge their supportive role. If boys show particular leadership qualities they may be selected to become the Head of House or a Senior Prefect. Many sixth formers will become Prefects and assist the House staff in the smooth running of the house. SANCTIONS The discipline of the house evolves from the use of appropriate rewards and sanctions. Most sanctions will involve the withdrawal of privileges that, hopefully, will be reinstated relatively quickly. If a boy does not respond to advice and encouragement, he will be given appropriate restrictions on his movements and use of time. Any sanctions given should be fair, appropriate and recorded.
