College rules condensed Rules at College are based on our school’s virtues. For easy reference, the full school rules have been condensed to these main points. However, all boys are expected to know the full school rules. • Relationships at College should be positive and respectful. Consequently, discriminatory actions and language are unacceptable, along with bullying and harassment • Chapel is a special place in College and behaviour in Chapel must be appropriate at all times. There is to be no talking in Chapel • The Quadrangle is a formal area. Consequently, walking on the grass, eating, shouting, ball games, skateboarding, scooters and e-scooters, and cycling are prohibited, as is not wearing footwear or a shirt • Boys must wear the correct uniform at all times. They must be clean shaven and their hair and personal appearance must always be neat • Boys must not have their hands in their pockets • When in uniform, boys must behave in a way which upholds the school’s good name • When in uniform, boys must wear blazers or full dress uniform outside the College campus and they must not eat on the street.
