Blew House – Handbook for Boys August 2024

Welcome to Blew House

My wife and I have the pleasure of welcoming you into Blew House. We hope that you have an enjoyable time in our House and over the course of your stay will come to think of it as your second home. The aim of this handbook is to provide a source of information for you relating to how Blew House runs and functions as a community. In your first few weeks you will be given a large amount of information, all of which can be found in this handbook. I run a relaxed House, but I am sure that you appreciate the need for some House Rules if Blew House is to run smoothly. These are, I think, relatively few in number but they are important and you will be expected to abide by them. If you are uncertain of anything in this handbook please do not hesitate to ask me or any of the Boarding staff.

The Blew House Ethos

Together we should all aim to provide a caring, happy, homely and organised environment allowing you to extend your intellectual and emotional growth in an atmosphere of positive encouragement. We aim to foster mutual respect, trust, tolerance and an understanding of the range of cultures that can be found in Blew House and in the wider context of the College. We will engender a caring environment in a relaxed family atmosphere in which the talents of each individual are enabled to flourish. By the time you leave Dulwich we want you to have become confident, down to earth and considerate and to have an ability to mix with people from all walks of life.

WE ARE A HAPPY COMMUNITY AT THE COLLEGE – in this community your happiness is important to all of us.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FEEL SOMEBODY CARES
