In our House the girls are always encouraged to turn off their lights and other electricals when they leave their rooms. They get points deducted from their dorm scores if they don't! Every little helps!

I think you may find that the official rules are that the only internet access allowed at school is that provided through the school's intranet. With modern technology this is almost impossible to police, but just so you're aware.

]Quite frankly the whole situation is a nightmare and we don't know where to turn. Another parent has kindly sent me a PM suggesting some charities which we can approach for help, so we'll be trying this next. But realistically, if we have to move our youngest it would be better to do so soon rather...

I was assuming that my son could pack a small bag and come on the train. Sorry, new to all this, I was actually refering to this question. Sorry for the confusio...

Hi, In regards to going home at leave weekends it is thought quite importany that the kids have time away from school and 'off campus' in order to have a proper rest and recharge batteries , this is why they are all encouraged to find a relative/friend to stay with if unable to go home. They only ha...
