FLEXI-BOARDING

Flexi-boarding is available for an occasional night during the week (maximum oftwo nights per week). Housemasters and mistresses require 24 hours writtennotice from parents and flexi-boarding is subject to availability. The charge is£52 per night.

LOCKERS

Work and sports lockers for day students are located in various locations aroundthe school to ensure that sports clothing and equipment can be stored, and can besecured with a padlock. Boarders keep all their possessions in their boarding house.

MEALS

A wide selection of meals is available at lunchtime, including vegetarian andspecial diets for those who so register. Year groups generally dine together. TheCollege involves students and staff in discussions and decisions about cateringthrough the school councils which meet termly.

MEDICATION

All matters relating to medication for day students should be discussed with SisterScott on 01798 867831.

MOBILE PHONES

Please ensure that all mobile telephones brought into school are insured. Theschool cannot accept any responsibility for loss, damage or theft and they areexcluded on the personal effects’ insurance. It is a good idea to write down theIEMI number and keep this safe at home. Please refer to the Acceptable UsePolicy for Mobile Devices (Senior School) which can be found on the SeafordCollege website. The above statement also includes headphones, smart watchesand any other type of personal device.

OFF GAMES

If a student is injured or ill the Sports Department need to be informed of this witha letter from a parent or guardian; this letter should be presented at the start ofthe PE or Games session, or before. If the student is to be off games for more thantwo lessons, then a Doctor or Physiotherapist’s note is required; this will then bekept in our long-term injury file.

We like to think that there is actually no such term as ‘off games’, as we feel allstudents can be given some form of health and wellbeing provision to do at anappropriate level to their injury or illness (extent depending). This can includeobservation & analysis of colleagues, scoring, umpiring/refereeing, peer coaching,


8

flexibility/stretching work, or participating at a level with which they feelcomfortable.

For the reasons listed above, all students are required to bring appropriate sportskit to suit the activity at the time. Indoor lessons – tracksuit, shorts, polo shirt,trainers. Outdoor lessons – appropriate footwear, track suit, waterproof etc….

This policy has been put in place so that all students are able to receive the bestsports provision possible, which also ensures inclusion.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

Students are discouraged from bringing into school valuable items or largeamounts of money. Students are advised not to bring in items such as iPads,cameras, headphones, or electronic games (which are not necessary for theschool day). All personal items must be named and under no circumstances canthe school take responsibility for any damage, loss or theft which may occur,unless the item has been locked away securely.

PREP (HOMEWORK)

For all students in the Middle School and Sixth Form, appropriate structured timeis provided for the completion of prep or private study. There should be anexpectation that it will also be necessary to complete either directed prep tasks,or independent study tasks, at home either in the evening or at weekends.

PREP

All student prep tasks are set using Firefly, an online virtual learning platform.Parents are able to view tasks via the parent portal and can discuss and monitorprep with their children. Prep is also published as part of each student’s timetableat the beginning of term, which is also available online through the Firefly parentportal.

FINALLY

Seaford College is a friendly place where we all know each other. There may bedisagreements, just as there are at home, but we expect these to be sorted out ina prompt and civilised manner. Each student will receive a copy of the SeafordCollege Calendar, which contains Guidelines for Students and these operate at alltimes. In addition, there are School Rules and Responsibilities, all of which aredesigned with the students’ safety and welfare in mind.

This booklet is intended to give parents and students a broad outline of the SeniorSchool. If there is something more that you would like to know, please do nothesitate to get in touch.

COMBINED CADET FORCE SERVICEAll students at Seaford College have the option of serving with the CombinedCadet Force. This begins in Year 9, which is a change for 2020 and will give cadetsa year longer to progress in the CCF.

Cadets have the choice of joining one of the three parent service sections: RoyalNavy (RN), Army, and Royal Air Force (RAF). We will do our best to accommodatefirst choice of section but reserve the right to allocate cadets to specific sections ifnecessary due to numbers.

During their first term of service, they will learn basic military skills common to allsections, including how to wear their uniform, marching and saluting.

After half-term they carry out detailed preparation in order to set the right tone forthe Remembrance Service in early November; the whole school attends this event,which is conducted in the sports hall, with the CCF and music department takingthe lead. After that cadets move on to specific-to-section training.

The CCF also organises week-long camps; one at the beginning of the EasterHolidays, the second takes place at the end of the Summer term.

The Easter Camp is a non-uniformed, adventurous training week, offering thechance to take part in activities like mountain biking, canoeing, gorge walking,caving and hill walking, to name a few.

The Summer Camp is run by the Army and focuses on military topics, givingcadets the opportunity to practise skills already learned or to acquire new ones,including infantry tactics, shooting on the ranges and a planned overnight exercise.Other centrally run camps are offered by the RN and RAF during school holidaysand are advertised to cadets as details are released.

All these additional opportunities are voluntary, but cadets are encouraged toattend since they are great fun, build confidence, offer excellent training value andare heavily subsidised.

During their time, cadets learn valuable life skills that include discipline and self-reliance, as well as working co-operatively in teams and groups.

DUKE OF EDINBURGHAWARD SCHEMEParticipation in this really highly regarded scheme is voluntary. We have recentlystarted delivering the DofE Bronze Award in Year 9. This provides a reallysignificant outdoor education focus to this year group, as well as making it far moreachievable to complete all three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) of the award whilststill at school.

Expedition training is a key part of the programme, during which participants beginlearning how to:

• Read a map

• Use a compass

• Draw up a route plan for an expedition

• Put up and dismantle a tent

• Select appropriate clothing for a hiking expedition

• Choose and cook food for such an expedition

They will take part in a training expedition which will include a night out undercanvas in preparation for a Qualifying Expedition towards the end of the SummerTerm, during which they will be responsible for all the preparation, navigation andconduct of this remotely supervised activity. This inculcates many transferableskills such as self-reliance, confidence, team work and resilience.

We will also guide them through the process of achieving the other sectionsof the award.

Gold and Silver Awards are available to any student of the minimum age (15 forSilver, 16 for Gold). Gold and Silver expeditions occur twice a year:

October (during the half-term holiday) and July (usually the first week of theSummer holiday). Whilst the intention is that the July window will be for SilverExpeditions (Practice Expedition at the end of Year 10 and Qualifying Expedition atthe end of Year 11) and the October window will generally be for Gold Expeditions(Practice Expedition at the beginning of Year 12 and Qualifying Expedition at thebeginning of Year 13), there may be some flexibility if participants are able to formgroups of between 5 and 7 participants and these expedition windows have notalready been filled with the participants at the intended levels.
