Blew House – Handbook for Boys August 2024

Signing Out Procedure

All boys should sign in and out of the boarding house every time they enter or leave the building.

Local Signing Out If you are going somewhere local (Tesco, Dulwich Village, PE Centre) you should sign out as a Local Sign out . You should enter your destination and estimated time of return. When you get back to the House ensure you sign in so we know you are back safely. If you are going to the PE Centre you should remember to bring your swipe card and sign in and then out on the register in the PE Centre and ensure you cross the road using the zebra crossing. If you are planning to go swimming you must speak to the duty member of staff before you go. You should be gone for no longer than 90 minutes on this sign out protocol and should be going to your destination by foot only. Non-Local Signing Out If you are going further afield you will need the tutor on duty to sign you out. You can also make a request via the app for your Housemaster to approve – this will speed up the process of signing out. You must still see the tutor on duty to sign you out when you leave and then again when you return so they can sign you back in. Overnight/Weekend Signing Out If you would like to stay away from the boarding house overnight you need to speak to your Housemaster at least 24 hours in advance. Your Housemaster will need to speak to the person you are planning to stay with and may also require confirmation from your parents and/or guardian. You can also make a request via the app for your Housemaster to approve. You must still see the tutor on duty to sign you out when you leave and then again when you return so they can sign you back in. At least 24 hours notice is required and last minute requests will not be accepted. Weekly Boarders Please ensure you speak to the tutor on duty when you leave so they can sign you out to home or your guardian as appropriate.

You must keep strictly to the signing out rules. If the housemaster is not confident he knows where you are he may be required to call the police and report you as a missing person.

If your plans change or you should be unavoidably delayed you must inform the duty tutor immediately by phoning them on the duty mobile. If you are unable enter the boarding house in an emergency you can ring on the front doorbells of Mr Davidson, Mr Stanley or Mrs Stanley. Alternatively you can go to the Security Lodge on campus and ask the Site Officers to let you into Blew House / Ivyholme or call the Site Officers on 07860 648965.
