Bicycles and Cars

A bicycle store is located behind the Medical Centre and you may obtain a key for the padlock from your Housemaster. You are encouraged to also lock your bike whilst it is kept in the store and should ensure that you have appropriate insurance for your bike.

You should remember that cycling in London can be very dangerous and at all times you will be expected to wear suitable clothing including a cycle helmet.

Bikes from Smart Bike Shares should not be left on the College grounds or around the Boarding Houses.

Cars and scooters are only permitted under exceptional circumstances and with a formal letter from your parents. You should not accept a lift in a day boy’s car without your parents’ permission which should be communicated to the Housemaster in writing.

Access to your rooms

You have a key to your room. If you keep your room locked when you are not in it then your belongings will be safe. In addition to whoever is on duty only Mrs Fairhall and the cleaning staff can gain access to your room once it has been locked. Your room is your space and this will be respected but maintenance and safety checks do need to take place.

Your Housemaster has permission from the Master of the College to search your room should he feel the need to do so. This will only be done in the presence of another member
