What standards of behaviour are expected of prep school pupils?

Children’s Code of Conduct:

  • When people are upset try to help them in the best way you can and inform a teacher. Be kind and sympathetic.
  • Always be polite and make people feel welcome. Remember manners, opening doors and, of course, please and thank you.
  • Make work easier for the duty ladies by being good mannered and thoughtful.
  • Try hard at all things and do your best but always seek help if you are stuck.
  • Always respect equipment.
  • Keep the school clean and tidy and help put things away after being used.
  • Walk in school and keep to the left of corridors.
  • Try to be punctual, arriving at school on time and completing work in the set time, including homework.
  • Try to keep noise at a sensible level.
  • If anyone has an accident on the playground tell the nearest teacher or duty lady.
  • Try to understand other people’s point of view.
  • Be aware of children smaller than yourself.
  • The older children should set an example to the younger children.
  • Line up quickly when the whistle blows and remember, no talking.
