8.1 General: The Parents agree to: (i) fulfil their obligations under the Parent Contract (including paying Fees on time); (ii) do all that they reasonably can to ensure the Pupil takes a full part in the activities of the College; (iii) do all that they reasonably can to ensure the Pupil attends each College day in accordance with the relevant Attendance and Registration Policy, is punctual and appropriately dressed; (iv) promptly inform the College if the Pupil is unable to attend school due to sickness or injury; (v) do all that they reasonably can to ensure that the Pupil works hard, is well- behaved and complies with the College Rules; (vi) encourage the Pupil in their studies and give the Pupil appropriate support at home; (vii) keep the College informed of matters affecting the Pupil of which the College needs to be aware; (viii) inform the College as soon as possible if the Parents have concern as to a matter of safety, care, discipline, education or progress regarding the Pupil; (ix) maintain a courteous and constructive relationship with College staff (ensuring the tone and content of the Parents’ communications are reasonable and appropriate) ; (x) refrain from any discriminatory, aggressive, threatening, bullying or harassing behaviour towards staff or behaviour which has the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of a staff member or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them (for example, behaviour which constitutes sexual harassment); (xi) engage with the College in a reasonable, co-operative and transparent manner; (xii) provide assistance to the College to enable the Pupil to participate and benefit from the College’s provision of Education Services (including where the College wishes to provide such Education Services remotely); (xiii) attend meetings and otherwise keep in touch with the College; and (xiv) set a positive example for children by modelling good conduct and showing respect for others. 8.2 Parental Responsibility: The Parents will promptly disclose to the College if any person who has not signed the acceptance form in respect of the Pupil has (or acquires) parental responsibility for the Pupil and at the same time shall provide their contact details to the College. Thereafter, the Parents shall ensure that the College always has the up-to-date contact details for the said person(s), including mobile phone and email address. 8.3 Consultation amongst Parents: The Parents acknowledge that (save in exceptional circumstances) they should consult with each other and any other person having parental responsibility for the Pupil in relation to significant matters or decisions regarding the Pupil ’s education . 8.4 Change of circumstances: The Parents shall (as soon as possible) inform the College of: (i) any change in the Parents’ or the Pupil’s circumstances of which the College reasonably needs to be aware (including, where applicable, any change to the Pupil’s entitlement to enter, reside and/or study in the United Kingdom); and (ii) any change to information about the Parents or the Pupil that has previously been notified to the College (e.g. contact details). 8.5 Changing from termly to weekly boarding: If the Parents wish to change the Pupil’s place at the College from a termly to a weekly boarding place, they must either: (i ) give the College not less than a term’s notice; or ( ii) give immediate notice and thereupon pay to the College (as a debt) a sum equal to the difference between the termly fees for Board and Lodging and the weekly fees for Board and Lodging in lieu of notice, at such rate as would have been charged until the end of the termly provision of Board and Lodging if a term’s notice of the change had been given. 8.6 Changing from boarding (termly or weekly) to day : (i) Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below, the Parents may (by giving the College not less than a term’s notice) change the Pupil’s place at the College from a boarding to a day place on condition that the Parents remain responsible for paying (and continue to pay) the fees for Board and Lodging (as opposed to just the fees for Education Services) in full (as a debt) at the rate applicable to the term(s) in question until the end of the academic year in which the change takes effect or (if earlier) until the College fills the boarding vacancy created by the Pupil’s change from a boarding to a day place, at which point the Parents shall only then be liable to pay the fees for Education Services going forward. This condition is necessary because boarding provision is planned on an annual basis, and it may take some time to fill a vacancy created by a pupil changing from boarding to day. (ii) The Parents may not change the Pupil’s place from a boarding place to a day place for the Summer Term of Year 11
