BOARDING FAQ'S
| BOARDING FAQs |
|---|
| What is the daily routine? Details of the daily routine for boarders during the week and at weekends can be found in the Boarding Pupils’ Handbook. Is there school on Saturday? There are no formal lessons on Saturday, but there are usually sports fixtures and team practice in the morning as well as catch up sessions and other activities. What else happens at weekends? There is a full programme of boarders’ activities at weekends. Are pupils allowed out after school? Boarding pupils are allowed into town at the discretion of their House Parents and after a suitable induction. They are generally allowed to go into Canterbury on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Details can be found in the Boarding Pupils’ Handbook. Can my child put posters on their walls? Yes this is permitted in the boarding houses. Special diets? Our Head Chef caters for special diets such as gluten-free, or lactose-intolerant and works closely with the staff in the school’s medical centre to ensure that pupils with specific needs are well looked after. If you have any questions about dietary requirements at the School, please contact the Catering General Manager at catering@kentcollege.co.uk. What are the laundry arrangements? All your laundry, including bedding, will be taken care of by our in-house laundry service. Every item should be labelled with your name. You can buy name tape from our laundry service and your House Manager can help you, and answer any other questions you may have when you arrive. How many others will my child share a room with? Most rooms in boarding are doubles, while the younger years share rooms in groups of 2 to 5 depending on their year group and boarding house. There are a number of single rooms available for Sixth form students. Most rooms have ensuite bathroom facilities while others share larger bathroom facilities. When do boarders do their homework? For Years 7-9, homework (prep) is done in Study Hall at the end of the school day – this is supervised by a member of staff. Older students work more independently in their boarding houses during quiet times before and after supper. What happens when a boarder is ill? The school has a fully equipped Medical Centre which is staffed by medically trained nurses 24 hours a day during term time. Is there someone in the boarding house during the day? Yes, the House Manager is on duty during the day, so there is always someone in the house to help if a boarder has a problem. How far is the nearest airport? Gatwick Airport is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, Heathrow Airport approximately 1 hour 40 minutes and Stansted approximately 1 hour 30 minutes by car/taxi. Can the school arrange airport transfers? Airport transfers are arranged by parents or the pupil’s guardian. Boarding pupils under 16 must be collected from the school by a guardian, parent or other named adult. |
