Health and Medical Matters
5.1 Medical Declaration: Within 7 days of the College’s request, the Parents will complete and return a medical declaration concerning the Pupil’s health. The Parents must inform the Pupil’s Head of School in writing if the Pupil : (i) develops any medical condition, health problem or allergy; (ii) suffers an injury that may affect the Pupil’s ability fully to participate in school activities (academic, co-curricular or supra-curricular); (iii) is unable to take part in games or sporting activities; or (iv) has contact with any infectious disease.
5.2 Medical Care: Every boarder must be registered on the list of the College Medical Officer while a pupil at the College. The Parents must comply with the College Medical Officer’s quarantine regulations as amended from time to time.
5.3 Medical Examination: All new boarders must have a routine medical examination with the College Medical Officer (or other doctor appointed by the College), usually during their first term at the College. New day pupils may be required by their Head of School to have a routine medical examination during their first term. Arrangements can be made (on request) for a parent to be present, but this is subject to the Pupil’s consent if the Pupil is of sufficient maturity and understanding (usually at 12 years old). All new pupils complete the College’s hea lth questionnaire.
5.4 Pupil’s Health : The College may at any time require a medical opinion or certificate as to the Pupil’s general health. A pupil of sufficient age and maturity is entitled to insist on confidentiality.
5.5 Medical Information: Throughout the Pupil’s time at the College, the College Medical Officer shall have the right to disclose confidential information about the Pupil, if considered to be in the Pupil’s own interests or necessary for the protection of other members of the College community. Such information will be given and received on a confidential, ‘need -to- know’ basis. 5.6 Emergency Medical Treatment: The Parents authorise the Pupil’s Head of School, the Master or a Deputy Master to consent (on behalf of the Parents) to the Pupil receiving emergency medical treatment, including blood transfusions (unless the Parents have notified the College that they object to blood transfusions), general anaesthetic and operations under the National Health Service or at a private hospital where recommended by an appropriately qualified person to be necessary for the Pupil’s welfare and if the Parents cannot be contacted in time.
5.7 Emergency Contacts: The Parents shall provide the College with the contact details for two emergency contacts (both adults) in respect of the Pupil.
5.8 Keeping the Pupil at home: If the College so requires (due to a health or safety risk posed by the Pupil to themselves or to others or vice-versa or by reason of a virus, pandemic, epidemic or other health or safety risk) the Parents will keep the Pupil at home and not permit the Pupil to return to the College until such time as the College believes the health or safety risk has been averted. The College shall use all reasonable endeavours to continue providing the Education Services to the Pupil remotely during any such period (for example, by sending work assignments electronically or by post).

Educational Matters
6.1 Our Commitment: The College will provide the Services with all reasonable care and skill.
6.2 Organisation: The College reserves the right to organise the curriculum and its delivery in a way which, in the professional judgement of the Master, is most appropriate to the College community as a whole. The College’s policy on setting and class sizes may change from year to year and from time to time and will depend mainly on the mixture of abilities and aptitudes among the pupils and may take into account management of friendship groups.
