GENERAL INFORMATION General Information

School Hours

School starts at 8.30am, registration takes place immediately and first lesson begins at 8.40am. Early boys may arrive from 8.00am. Lessons finish at 3.45pm. Boys should be collected by 4.00pm unless they are booked in to After School Club or an after school activity.

Drop Off and Collection

At 8.00am the blue side gate is opened. This signifies that a member of staff is then on duty. In the event of inclement weather boys will be invited into Room 5S. No boys may enter via the front entrance other than boys carrying large musical instruments.

The side gate is opened at 3.45pm and this signifies the end of lessons. Parents are asked to come around to the back of the building and wait outside their son’s form room. Please do not bring any dogs into the school yard. At 4.00pm any boy not collected will go to the designated room for an after school activity, to the allocated room if getting a bus home, or to Room 5S ready to be booked in for After School Club.

Buses

It is imperative for obvious safety reasons that parents let us know in writing, well in advance, of any changes in arrangements regarding using the school bus. If a boy indicates that he is not sure if he should be going home on the school bus, he is kept in school and parents are contacted to come to collect him. Please do not make arrangements for a friend to travel home on a school bus without first checking with the Bus Coordinator for Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools (Email: [email protected]) that a place will be available and letting us know at the Boys’ Prep that this arrangement has been made. Some buses are fully booked and no extra space is available. Please be aware that bus passes are issued for every journey and may be checked at any time. The Boys’ Prep bus duty mobile number is 07736 297226. This is carried by the bus duty supervisor, Mrs Caldicott. Please use this number for any changes to bus arrangements.

After School Club

The sessions are 4.15 to 5.15pm and 5.15 to 6.00pm, the latter to include tea. There is a booking system though boys are usually able to use the facility at short notice if need be although tea should be booked in advance or by lunchtime on the day. In addition, any boys not collected after school, or promptly after an after school activity, are booked into After School Club and parents are billed accordingly. Any boys not collected from the first session by 5.15pm are booked into the second session. After School Club is charged at £3.50 for the first session and £5.10 for the second (which includes tea). Any boys still in school in the second session are charged, regardless of whether they have tea. There is a mobile phone strictly for After School Club use only (Tel: 07876 784 037). There is no facility for a boy to stay in school after 6.00pm.

After School Activities

Boys are asked to sign up to an activity for a term at a time – though they may change if after the very first session they decide that they do not wish to continue. Parents need to notify school accordingly. Boys are expected to give their apologies in advance if they are unable to attend a session. Collection is at the back of the school or the Sports Complex, as specified, not via the front door.

June 2018 Meals

All boys in the Boys’ Prep have a school lunch. Meals are charged as outlined on the financial information sheet. There is an excellent range of home-made food available, including a vegetarian option as well as fresh salads. Boys new to the school are given help and guidance in their choice of food. Boys may not bring sweets or snacks to school other than fruit (fresh or dried). No nuts or products containing nuts are to be brought into school, please. Boys may bring a plastic bottle for water if they wish.

Music Tuition

Parents of pupils having individual music lessons in the Boys’ Prep who intend to discontinue them when their son moves into the senior school are advised that they should give eight school weeks notice, in writing, to the Director of Music, Mr Lawson. If no notice is given it is assumed that parents would wish the same tuition to continue in the senior school and the music teachers will be booked for the next term. If lessons are subsequently not required, parents will be liable for the full term’s music fees.

Pupils in charge of school instruments are expected to take proper care of their safety and parents should check that their own insurance cover provides against loss. Boys wanting to start learning an instrument should ask for the appropriate forms from the school office. There is a waiting list for tuition on some instruments, particularly if an application is received mid-year. Applications go to the Head of the Boys’ Prep first for approval.

Notice of Withdrawal

The agreement for education of a pupil at the school may be terminated either by giving a full term's notice in writing or, subject to a payment of an amount equal to a full term's fees plus any amounts outstanding for previous terms, by giving notice at any time before the commencement of the next following term.

Clothing and Equipment

Long sleeved white of school design are a mandatory part of the uniform for concerts and similar occasions, as are long of school design. Uniform should be kept clean and in good condition. No should be missing and should be polished. Boys are asked to wear a clean every day. All items of and equipment must be clearly marked with the owner’s name. Boys are expected to conform to the regulations regarding clothing, equipment and appearance.

The current arrangement is that boys are permitted to bring in one sensibly-sized toy or game for playtime. School can accept no responsibility for loss of or damage to toys (this includes remote-controlled cars) or games.

Lost Property

Most lost property that is named finds its way back to its owner eventually. Boys are encouraged to take responsibility for their own belongings. All lost property will be stored in the cupboard in the library. Boys may visit this cupboard to find missing items. Parents are not allowed to search the lost property cupboard unless they enquire first at the school office or with a member of staff. Lost property collections can also be found in the sports centre and at the senior school. Items left at the pavilion may end up there.

June 2018 Organisation and Independence

Boys are encouraged to check their timetable and to set out their uniform, school bag and belongings the evening before so that they remember all that they need for school the next day. Forgetting an item may result in a boy being inconvenienced in a lesson though he will be less likely to forget it in the future. Parents are encouraged not to bring in items left behind by their sons; this is in order to help them to develop good habits and ultimately mature into responsible adults. Daily use of the school planner will be essential for pupils’ organisation and independence.

Mobile phones and Smartwatches

Only boys who walk to or from school without an adult, or travel by bus or taxi, are permitted to bring a mobile phone to school. Phones must be switched off and out of sight during school hours. Parents are asked not to phone or text their son during school hours and to remind their son that it contravenes school regulations if they attempt to phone or text their parents during school hours. Boys are permitted to use the school phone in an emergency though are not permitted to phone parents to ask them to bring in homework or kit that they have forgotten. This is to help ensure the smooth running of the office and also to encourage boys to be organised.

Smartwatches are not permitted at Monmouth School Boys’ Prep.

Health

Medical and dental appointments should be made outside school hours. A note or email is required when a boy has been absent from school. No reason except illness is recognised as a sufficient excuse for absence from school unless there are exceptional circumstances and permission has previously been obtained from the Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep. All absences are classed on the register as authorised or unauthorised. All boys, except those medically unfit, take part in Games. Notice of excuse should be sent by parents to the Master in Charge of P.E. and Games, Mr Morris, in cases where it is desired that a boy should be temporarily excused owing to an ailment.

If it is necessary for medicine to be administered in school it should be sent in, clearly marked with name, date and clear dosage instructions. If instructions are unclear, staff are not permitted to administer the medicine. Parents are asked to consider the general health of the school and to consult the Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep if there is a likelihood that a boy has been exposed to infection during out-of-school hours. Parents are also asked to check their son’s hair for head lice weekly as a matter of routine and to keep hair cut short, above the collar, and so that it does not fall into the eyes. Hair should be its own natural colour. The use of hair gel, or similar hair styling products, is not permitted.

Other than by prior arrangement dogs are not permitted on the premises - either inside or outside; this includes the playing fields.

Holidays

Requests for leave of absence for parents' holidays which fall outside the school holidays are not looked upon favourably. Dates of terms are published well in advance and the school asks that parents will abide by them.

June 2018 Homework

The school depends on parents' co-operation in the matter of homework. In addition parents are asked to hear their son read. We expect the boys to record their reading daily in their planner. Boys who do not have this extra practice as a matter of routine naturally tend to fall behind those who do. Learning spellings and tables practice should also be a matter of daily routine. If there are extenuating circumstances resulting in homework not being completed parents are asked to write a note (planners can be used for this purpose), or to send an email to the form tutor. Parents are requested to sign the planner on a weekly basis to ensure that their son is using it to record homework tasks and daily reading properly.

Discipline

Parents can help school immensely if they ensure their son’s observation of the school rules and support the school in following up a misdemeanour or sanction at home as well as school.

Emergency Contact

It is necessary for the school to know the day-time (office or mobile) telephone number where a parent can be contacted in the case of sudden illness or other emergency. Parents whose home or work number is not going to be manned during the day are asked to let the school know where they can be contacted in an emergency. This also applies to school events out of school time.

Access during school hours

We are fortunate at the Boys’ Prep that the school office is manned for most of the day. However, Mrs Caldicott, Administrative Assistant, is on supervisory duty at lunchtime and Mrs Hunt, PA to the Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep and School Secretary, is sometimes called away from the office and, of course, she has a lunch break. There is therefore not always someone available to answer the telephone or the door. Telephone and email messages are picked up on Mrs Caldicott’s and Mrs Hunt’s return to the office. The senior school office is manned throughout the day during normal school hours (telephone 01600 713143).

Change of Address or Circumstances

Any change of address or telephone number (including mobile) should be given to the school as a matter of priority. Please do pass on your e-mail addresses indicating which is the home and which the work address. Parents are also asked to keep the school informed of any change of circumstances which may have an effect on their son's well being or his education.

We make the most effective use possible of a variety of forms of electronic communication to keep you fully informed:

1. ClarionCall messaging service 2. Weekly Newsletter and Mailing 3. Parent Portal 4. Direct emails 5. Twitter 6. Letters – hard copies in book bags

ClarionCall Messaging Service

ClarionCall is our “parent communication service” and is used to send the weekly e-newsletter. This service also allows us to contact you in the event of last minute changes to the school day which need communicating to multiple parents quickly and accurately. It is also used to send you certain forms and letters.

There are three types of message you could receive:

1 Text Message

A simple written message can be composed and sent by a member of staff. This is a “read only” text message with no ability to reply.

2 Voice Message

A member of staff will record a voice message. You will receive a text message informing you there is a message waiting and provide you with a phone number to call.

If you call from your mobile, the system will recognise you and direct you to your message. If you call from a different mobile or a landline you will be asked to key in your mobile number so the system can deliver the correct message.

3 Email Message

This will usually only be used to keep you informed of events several days in the future rather than an emergency.

The school uses mobile numbers and email addresses as provided by you. It is important that you notify the school of any changes as soon as possible.

Weekly Newsletter and Mailing

Every Friday evening, during term time, we send you an electronic newsletter which is full of photos and articles about events which have occurred that week plus detailed information on up-coming events. Please enjoy looking at this at your leisure and take note of the forthcoming information.

Included with the newsletter email will be a detailed list of other mailings. These mailings are all stored on the Parent Portal which you can access at any time. Please look through the list of documents and access any which are relevant to you and your son. We try to use this mailing as a single, central repository containing as much information as possible in order that you are not bombarded by communications throughout the working week.

June 2018 Parent Portal

We operate a password protected secure area of the website which acts as a Parent Portal for storing general information and personal information regarding your son. Letters, communications and information are stored on the portal for you to access at any time. If you have lost or mislaid a hard copy letter or form to sign, they will generally be stored on the portal for your convenience to download and print. Please check the portal first before coming into the office to request another hard copy.

Personal information, contact details, timetable information and school reports can all be accessed through the portal as well as a plethora of other information.

Direct Emails

We encourage the use of email for direct communication between yourself and your son’s form tutor and other teachers. Teachers’ email addresses are supplied to you. We ask that emails to teachers are kept brief to include matters of information. Although many staff check their emails regularly in the evenings and weekends, please respect staff members privacy and do not expect a response outside of normal working hours. For longer or more detailed discussions, please request a meeting rather than relying on email.

Twitter

We use Twitter to give live updates on events and activities going on in school and to include photographs. Please feel free to follow us @MonBoysPrep for regular updates. Twitter is our preferred method for general communications during school trips and residentials and may be used in emergencies to give information regarding delays, traffic, inclement weather that affects the running of school events and trips. If you choose not to have a social media account yourself, you may still follow our Twitter feed via the school website. Other Boys’ Prep Twitter accounts exist and may be followed, as well as the official Twitter account for the Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools @Habsmonmouth. If you do not wish your son’s photo to appear on the school website, social media or marketing material please let us know.

June 2018 Reporting Process

To ensure consistency, transparency and continuity, the Boys’ Prep reporting procedure incorporates elements from the other Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools, with which you will be familiar if you have sons at Monmouth School for Boys and/or daughters at Monmouth School Girls’ Prep and Monmouth School for Girls. When your son transfers to Monmouth School for Boys we anticipate that there will be a smooth transition as both you and he will already be familiar with the report style and format as well as the grade criteria.

We work hard to ensure that reporting is purposeful and useful for the on-going development of your son’s education. We ensure that our grade criteria are clear, transparent and consistent in application in order that you can understand exactly where your son is currently and also exactly what he needs to do next in order to improve. We see reports as being more than a simple communication tool between home and school; they are also an important tool in maximising your son’s progress.

Attainment Grades

“Attainment” Grades are based on a 5 point scale which correlates with the grades at Monmouth School for Boys. These grades are:

Grade X Exceptionally High Standard Grade A High Standard Grade B Meets Expectations Grade C Below Expectations Grade D Well Below Expectations

As Monmouth School Boys’ Prep is an academically selective school, the Attainment Grades standards are set above national average standards. Therefore a boy who is meeting expectations at Monmouth School Boys’ Prep, will be working above national average standards across the UK, for a boy of the same age:

Attainment Grade Boys’ Prep Standards National Standards X Exceptionally High Standard Top 2% A High Standard Exceptionally High Standard B Meets Expectations High Standard C Below Expectations Meets Expectations D Well Below Expectations Below Expectations

We hope and expect that boys’ attainment grades will be in the green zone. We would hope that boys were not consistently being graded in the amber zone and would be concerned if they were in the red zone. Regardless of the grade the boys are currently achieving, we will always work our hardest to move them up to the grade above.

Not all parents should expect their sons to be working in the top grade levels. It is perfectly acceptable to be ‘meeting expectations’. This is an appropriate level for the majority of boys. If your son’s grades are lower than you would have hoped or expected, then please do make an appointment to discuss the reasons why but please be aware that Monmouth School Boys’ Prep is working hard to maintain academic standards, resisting the process of ‘grade inflation’ and ultimately demonstrating that your son is enjoying a quality academic education that is both worthwhile and rigorous.

June 2018 Attitude Grades

“Attitude” Grades explain your son’s approach to school work and school life in general. These will be expressed in words and are designed for your son to easily understand how his effort and endeavour levels are affecting his Attitude Grades. These grades are:

Excellent Very Good Good Inconsistent Unacceptable

Additional guidelines and more detailed grade criteria descriptors will be published which show which learning attitudes a typical boy would display in order to receive each grade. This is a ‘best fit’ judgement as no boy will fit every grade descriptor perfectly on every occasion.

Grade Cards

Grade cards will be issued at October half term and will consist of:

Attainment Grades for all subjects Attitude Grades for all subjects Form Tutor Comments

Interim Reports

Interim reports will focus predominantly on the core skills of English and Maths, which are required in order for your son to access all of the rest of the curriculum. These reports will be written for all boys at Christmas and Easter to reflect on their progress throughout the Michaelmas and Lent Terms respectively. Full reports will be written at the end of the Summer Term for all boys. Interim Reports will consist of:

Attainment Grades for all subjects Attitude Grades for all subjects Written comments for English and maths A Form Tutor written comment A written comment from the Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep Additional music tuition reports (if relevant)

Full Reports

Full reports will be issued at the end of the Summer Term and will reflect on the whole of the academic year. They will consist of:

Attainment Grades for all subjects Attitude Grades for all subjects Written comments for all subjects A Form Tutor written comments A written comment from the Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep Additional music tuition reports (if relevant)

June 2018 Report style and look

Printed on white paper A4 paper, portrait in orientation, they will be under the Monmouth School Boys’ Prep branded banner. Reports will be expandable in length so that they are not restrained to fit on single sheets of paper.

Full grade criteria and information on how to read and understand the judgements can be found on the Parent Portal together with a feedback form which we ask parents to complete and return to the school. Feedback is extremely valuable to us and can comment on your son’s individual report and/or the design, layout, construction and usefulness of the report. Your feedback is valuable to us and will be incorporated into future reviews of the reporting procedure.

Reports will be sent home in printed copy and will be available electronically on the parent portal.

AFTER SCHOOL CLUB After School Club

After School Club 4.15pm to 6.00pm Monday to Friday, term time

Mrs Mumby is the After School Club supervisor. The club runs in addition to those regular after school activities that form part of the extra-curricular programme.

The After School Club enables working parents or those with other commitments to collect their boys later in the day and also helps those who have children with different after-school commitments on different days.

The club is held in room 5S* between 4.00pm and 5.10pm. Boys who are uncollected by 4.00pm and are not in a club must report directly to Mrs Mumby for supervised care. Boys must not wait in classrooms, corridors or cloakrooms unsupervised. Boys may not wait to be collected in the front foyer and parents are not allowed to collect via the front door. For parents collecting from After School Club, access is around the back of the school, through the yard and on to the decking.

At approximately 5.10pm the After School Club boys who are uncollected make their way to the library. Collection from this point onwards is made via the main front door.

The cost is £3.50 per hour, or part thereof, from 4.15pm to 5.15pm and £5.10 from 5.15pm to 6.00pm to include tea, if booked in advance. Parents are billed at the end of each term.

It is usually possible for parents to use the facility on an ‘ad hoc’ basis and at short notice (depending on numbers).

SPORT Physical Education and Games

Sport forms a major part of life at Monmouth School Boys’ Prep. The boys have over four and a half hours of sport a week. The lessons are very well staffed by specialist teachers. This enables teachers to respond to the needs of the individual.

Games:

The major games played at the school are rugby, football and cricket.

Rugby is taught to all year groups, initially as tag rugby then, as confidence and skills increase, tackling, rucking and mauling are introduced. The school follows the playing format progression for rugby as laid out in the RFU NROP and has its own appropriately sized pitches on the Monmouth School for Boys grounds. The school is also a member of the Welsh Rugby Union.

Football is played throughout the school. The emphasis is on developing individual skills in small sided games.

Cricket is a very popular sport at the school. Boys are taught the basics of batting, bowling and fielding, starting with a soft ball graduating to pairs cricket through to full eleven a-side matches. The school makes full use of all the facilities available which include grass and artificial cricket wickets and indoor and outdoor cricket nets.

The school has a full fixture list of matches against other schools in all the major sports. The presence of A, B, C and D teams ensures that all boys will have an opportunity to represent the school at some stage.

PE:

PE is taught throughout the school. The boys are provided with a wide range of activities which change regularly. These include gymnastics, basketball, hockey, tennis and athletics.

Swimming:

The school has full use of a twenty five metre, six lane indoor pool. All boys are taught how to swim. The programme includes water confidence, entry and exits to the pool and stroke development.

After School:

In addition to the timetabled sports, after school activities run during the week. Depending on the season these include: rugby, football, cricket, tennis, cross country and swimming. These sessions are taken by staff from the school as well as outside professional coaches.

June 2018 Sporting Etiquette

The true value of school sports cannot be overstated. The developments in self-esteem, team cohesion, and improved health resulting from participation in sport from a young age last a lifetime. However, we strongly believe that it is only by playing within the parameters of fair play and within the laws of each sport, that any feeling of success is “real”.

We also believe that as well as abiding by the laws of the game, there are other guidelines that govern how players and supporters should conduct themselves on or around the field of play.

As a result, the Boys’ Prep has established some clear guidelines of its own for any boy representing the school in sport, as shown below:

When selected for a sports team, Boys’ Prep pupils will be expected to:

- Represent the school with dignity, honesty, integrity and humility, whether in victory or defeat and display high standards of behaviour generally. - Show respect for all players, referees/umpires, supporters and staff. - Show appreciation to their hosts, including all catering staff and grounds staff. - Wear the appropriate playing kit and ensure their is worn smartly for away fixtures. - Communicate with coaching staff in good time about foreseen problems with travel or attendance. - Communicate with teaching staff in good time if lessons are to be missed.

Monmouth School Boys’ Prep also appreciates and values the support offered by the parents and friends of our young sportsmen. Traditionally they have been recognised for the positive nature of their support and their excellent relationships, not only with each other but also with the parents, coaches, players and officials from the opposing schools. Parents are asked not to question or criticise the decisions of referees and coaches vocally at sporting fixtures or events; where a perceived problem exists they should address this to the relevant coach, the teacher in charge of the relevant sport or Mr Morris in a discreet manner.

Selection for sports teams at the Boys’ Prep is competitive and is made in good faith by the coaches. Selection is based primarily upon the attitude and performance of a player during training and in matches. Every effort will be made to inform a player how he may improve in these aspects in order to gain selection for his preferred team, although inevitably some boys will be disappointed. We ask that parents support the school sports coaches in this process, even when there is disappointment with a selection decision. The Head of Monmouth School Boys’ Prep delegates this responsibility to coaches and masters in charge of sports.

From D team through to A team boys can derive great benefit and enjoyment from playing sport at the Boys’ Prep. By adhering to this code of conduct, we believe that Monmouth School Boys’ Prep players and supporters will represent the school in a manner that upholds our fine traditions of physical endeavour and moral integrity.

June 2018 INDEX Section V

MUSIC Music

Boys in Monmouth School Boys’ Prep have class music lessons three times each week. Most of this musical activity uses the facilities available in the music room and our four music studios which offer pianos, listening equipment, tuned and untuned percussion instruments, stands and sets of books for singing and instrumental playing.

Singing is an important part of the curriculum and all boys are encouraged to join in wholeheartedly. There is a weekly whole school hymn practice and regular performances in various concerts throughout the year and at the annual Carol Service. The Grange Choir rehearses weekly and membership is by invitation to boys in Years 4, 5 and 6. The Choir performs in school and elsewhere and has on occasion taken part in choral projects with the senior school.

If your son would like to begin instrumental tuition, or if he already plays an instrument and you would like tuition to continue at the Boys’ Prep, please complete the appropriate form and return it to school as soon as possible. Boys entering Year 3 can apply for tuition on string instruments (violin, viola, ‘cello) and piano only. This is to support our carefully thought out set up for instrumental learning at the Boys’ Prep. The only exception to this is if a boy is already learning an instrument other than violin, viola, ‘cello and piano, he may continue with it in Year 3 by arrangement with the Head. From Year 4 onwards they have a full choice of tuition including wind, brass and percussion instruments. Instrumental lessons take place during the school day but are timed carefully to avoid upsetting the core academic curriculum as far as possible. Twice yearly the school enters boys for practical examinations run by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and this is arranged through the instrumental teacher. If you do not wish your son to be entered for exams please notify his teacher at the beginning of the academic year.

There is a carefully structured system of introducing boys to the idea of playing musical instruments. In Year 3 every boy is given the opportunity to play a string instrument in a large ensemble context (whole class tuition). This exercise occupies one class lesson per week and your son will be able to try the violin and the cello in the first instance. Boys then decide on the instrument they wish to continue ensemble tuition on (the class splits into two groups, one for violin, one for cello). This setup continues as part of their curriculum music provision for the rest of the year, if they make good progress. If at the end of this period your son wishes to continue tuition, lessons are arranged within the school and a charge will be made in the usual way. We hope that as many boys as possible will take advantage of this opportunity when the time comes. Once your son has chosen to continue, there is the opportunity to be included in the Boys’ Prep Orchestra, which consists of up to twenty five or so players, and which rehearses weekly.

As a preparation for playing woodwind and brass instruments, Year 3 class activity also involves playing the recorder. We find that the most efficient and hygienic way of dealing with this is to ask each boy to provide his own instrument, clearly named (on the instrument please, as well as the case). Descant recorders are available from the school shop. Learning to listen to music of all styles brings many benefits and some element of listening is incorporated into many lessons.

We introduce boys to woodwind and brass instruments in Years 4, 5 and 6. Those boys who have not already proceeded with tuition on a string instrument now have the option of taking up a brass or woodwind instrument. Initial tuition is offered to all boys in Year 4 on the clarinet and some brass instruments and boys are encouraged to sign up for lessons thereafter. In Year 5 one music lesson each week becomes a class band session. There is an opportunity for those boys to join in with the Boys’ Prep Band, which meets weekly to rehearse and consists of up to 20 or so players. Other instruments are introduced as appropriate and as the need arises. Every boy is offered the opportunity to join in group music, whatever his experience to date, and many lessons have more than one member of staff present, allowing us to respond readily to the needs of the individual.

Public performance is an excellent character-building experience and the boys perform in public regularly throughout the year, including at their own Form Concert. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the school on these occasions. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr Walton (Co-ordinator of Music) at any time should you wish to discuss musical matters. His email address is [email protected]

Introduction The Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools offer parents a scheme which enables them to make a lump sum payment for future school fees, in full or in part, for an agreed contract term. Payments may be made by anyone who wishes to make provision for a child’s education (the ‘donor’). Depending on individual circumstances, partaking in the scheme may be a helpful way of managing finances in a tax efficient way. Anyone interested should seek advice from a personal financial adviser before entering the scheme.

Conditions of the Scheme Each applicant will receive an individual proposal, drawn up by the Foundation Bursar, which is tailored to meet their own financial preferences. The minimum number of terms to be covered is six; the maximum is the remaining time at the school(s) through to the end of the Sixth Form. Quotations may be obtained separately for any of the five schools (Monmouth Schools Pre-Prep and Nursery, Monmouth School Girls’ Prep, Monmouth School Boys’ Prep, Monmouth School for Girls and Monmouth School for Boys). Alternatively, a quotation may be prepared covering the pupil’s time at more than one school.

Quotations will be prepared in one of two ways, depending on the donor’s preferences: Either (i) Based on a specified lump sum, the donor will be advised how many terms’ fees will be covered (assuming a set annual rate of fee increase). Or (ii) Based on a specified number of terms to be covered, the donor will be advised on the lump sum required (assuming a set annual rate of fee increase). A discount is offered on advance payments, the amount of which is related to the size of the capital deposited, the period of advance payment and the general level of interest rates at the time such deposit is made. Larger discounts will be offered for contracts covering at least 5 years’ fees. An annual rate of fee increase is assumed and the parent remains liable for any additional fees not covered under the FIA contract. Conversely, if any amount provided for under the contract is greater than the amount due, the donor can elect to leave the excess on the fees account to be applied against future charges, or the excess may be refunded.

Termly Balances The schools will apply the termly amount covered under the contract to the fees account on the due date each term. All remaining fees and extras invoiced each term must be paid in full according to the normal terms and conditions.

Entry to the school(s) Payments will only be accepted in respect of pupils for whom a registration fee has been paid and the offer of a place accepted. Payment of a lump sum does not alter the terms of entry or entitle a pupil to preferential treatment.

Withdrawal before the end of the contract period If a pupil in respect of whom a lump sum has been paid ceases to attend the school, for whatever reason, before the contract reaches its agreed term, the amount to be returned to the donor will be a sum equal to the unused portion of the lump sum payment. Parents will be required to give a full term’s notice of withdrawal, and if they fail to do so, the following term’s fees will be deducted from the unused portion of the lump sum payment. The school also reserves the right to retain any other unpaid charges, such as extras. Interest at a rate reflecting the value to the school of the unused portion of the lump sum will also be paid to the donor, after deducting an administration charge.

If a pupil is withdrawn before he/she starts at the school, the lump sum will be refunded to the donor, less a full term’s fees in lieu of notice if appropriate, and an administration charge. No interest will be paid in these circumstances. Terms of the Scheme Once a quotation has been accepted, a contract will be drawn up between the school(s) and the donor.

TRANSPORT The Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools Bus Company Timetable for the academic year 2018-2019 is set out on the following pages. The Company currently operates 17 bus routes and each stop on these routes falls within one of five Fare Zones, depending on the distance from Monmouth.

The Timetable is indicative of the likely schedule but depending on passenger numbers, the Company reserves the right to vary the routes to enable us to provide the most efficient service. Please ensure you have the latest edition of this schedule before making any decisions or entering into any commitments based upon it.

Generally, it is our policy to limit the overall number of stops to ensure the timely running of the buses and provide safe waiting places for passengers, but should you wish to discuss additional stops please email [email protected] or telephone 01600 711235.

If you wish your child to travel to school by bus please complete and return the Bus Travel Request Form as soon as possible. Seats are allocated on a first come, first served, basis.

Fares

. Pupils are either booked to travel regularly by bus full time, mornings only or afternoons only. . If a pupil uses the bus in the mornings only, the charge is 2/3rds the full term rate. . If a pupil uses the bus in the afternoons only, the charge is 1/3rd the full term rate. . For those families with three children or more, the eldest two booked to travel on the bus will be charged at the normal rate but any younger siblings will benefit from a 50% reduction. . Regular bus users will be charged in advance on their school bill. . Charges for occasional use of the school buses will appear on the next school bill. . Unless informed otherwise, we assume that any girl transferring to Monmouth School for Girls from the Girls’ Prep will continue with her current arrangements and that any boy transferring to Monmouth School for Boys from the Boys’ Prep will travel to school by bus on Saturdays in addition to their current arrangements. Equally, it is assumed that 6th form boys will not travel to school by bus on Saturdays, so any 6th former wishing to do so must inform us in advance.

Notice Periods

. If you wish your child to stop using the bus a full term’s notice must be given. . If your child is due to take their driving test and as the outcome of this is not foreseeable, we recommend that you provide us with ‘provisional’ notice.

Occasional Bus Travel

We generally require 48 hours’ notice of any need for occasional bus travel but in an emergency will always try to accommodate shorter notice. Requests must be made to the Bus Coordinator either by email [email protected], or by telephone 01600 711162. Your child will then need to collect a Single Journey Bus Pass from their school reception.

Please note that even if your child is regularly booked to travel by bus but on occasion needs to travel on a different bus (eg to visit a friend), the Bus Coordinator must be informed in advance. We need to not only ensure there are sufficient places on the vehicle but, moreover, in the event of breakdown, delay, or other incident it is essential we know who was booked to travel. Please Note:

Parents need to be aware that the Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools Bus Company is a separate legal entity which contracts independent coach companies to provide a transport service only.

It is the parents’ responsibility to decide whether their child has reached a sufficient level of maturity to undertake independent travel. Factors to be borne in mind include:

(a) No members of school staff travel on the vehicles with the pupils. (b) To reduce the impact of the buses in town and try and ensure the pupils reach their respective schools on time, most children will transfer between buses in Monmouth and some pupils will also need to transfer between vehicles en-route. Transfers on Wyebridge Street and at the Monmouth School for Boys’ Sports Complex are supervised by staff from Monmouth School for Boys. Transfers en-route are supervised by the drivers. (c) Parents are entirely responsible for their children before they board the bus in the morning and after they disembark from the bus in the afternoon. This means that it is for the parents to decide that their child will either walk home by themselves or be able to cope should the parent not be able to meet them for any reason. (d) In the same way that parents might decide to equip their child with a mobile telephone should they travel alone on public transport, we recommend parents consider whether their child should have use of a mobile telephone whilst travelling by school bus.

Pupils will be issued with a Bus Pass and the schools and drivers will undertake checks to ensure that all passengers are carrying the appropriate Pass. If a pupil loses their Pass the cost of a replacement is 50p.

Passengers are required to use the seat provided at all times.

In the mornings pupils are advised to be at their stop and ready to board the bus at least five minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you miss the bus, we do not expect the driver to pull over, other than at the next scheduled stop.

In the afternoons a limited number of buses leave Monmouth School for Girls promptly at 4.10pm and transport the girls to Monmouth School for Boys’ Sports Complex. All buses depart from the Sports Complex at 4.25pm.

CCTV recording may be in operation on the vehicle.

To enquire about the non-appearance or late arrival of buses or about lost property, please initially contact the relevant bus company: contact numbers and email addresses are listed on the Timetable.

In inclement weather the school endeavours to contact all parents via Clarion Call (SMS text message) to inform them if buses are not running.

Any problems or complaints should be addressed in the first instance to the relevant bus company and copied to [email protected]. Should matters not be resolved please contact the Foundation Bursar, Mrs Norgrove, either by letter, email [email protected] or telephone 01600 711229. In an emergency Mrs Norgrove can also be contacted on her mobile, 07855 943813.

The Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools Bus Company is run as a service for pupils’ families and is not a profit making enterprise. Boys’ Travel Behaviour Code

Collection of Pupil’s Ethnic Background

All schools are required by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) to collect and record the ethnicity of their pupils. Our ethnic background describes how we think of ourselves. This may be based on many things, including, for example, our skin colour, language, culture, ancestry or family history. Ethnic background is not the same as nationality or country of birth.

There is no sinister purpose behind this request, but both the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference and the Independent Schools Council feel this information is useful for monitoring purposes. The information you provide will be used to compile statistics on the school careers and experiences of children from different backgrounds, to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. These statistics will not allow individual children to be identified publicly and the information will not be used for any other purpose. From time to time this information will be passed to the Local Education Authority and the DCSF to contribute to local and national statistics.

Information about your child’s ethnic background will be passed on to any other school to which your child transfers to save you having to be asked for it again. You can ask to check your child’s information at any time, and, if you wish, have the ethnic background changed or removed.

You can also indicate that you do not wish an ethnic background category to be recorded. We have used the ethnic origin categories which ESTYN apply to their inspections.

Please circle the description below that applies to your son.

White Mixed Asian or Asian British Black or Black British

White British White & Black Caribbean Indian Caribbean White Irish White & Black African Pakistani African Other White White & Asian Bangladeshi Other Black background Other Mixed background Other Asian background Chinese

Other ethnic background I do not wish ethnic background to be recorded Unknown

Trips, Events and Sporting Fixtures

Monmouth School buildings and facilities are clustered in the same area of town but are on different sites and on different sides of the River Wye. From time to time the Boys’ Prep boys walk to and from the different sites, escorted by members of staff. In addition the boys may be escorted to and from the Pre- Prep, Monmouth School for Girls or the Girls’ Prep, or to a rehearsal at the Priory Church of St Mary’s, for example. For most routine day-to-day school business of this sort or any trip/event that incurs a charge of £5.00 or under, no extra permission is required from parents. In addition, boys involved in routine sports fixtures away are transported by means of a hired school bus (using our established bus companies) or minibus and again no separate slip needs to be completed for this.

For all other trips incurring a charge of over £5.00, a signed permission slip is required from a parent. Charges made for extra trips and events will vary from term to term and from class to class but, other than where residential trips are involved, we do try to keep these to no more than about £40 a term in total, though it is often much less than this. A visiting writer or artist, a theatre trip, or trip to a place of historical or geographical interest keeps the curriculum alive and exciting. This is an important aspect of life at Monmouth School Boys’ Prep and one that helps keep school vibrant and fun.

AXA PPP healthcare Limited, Marsh and any reinsurer will deal with all personal information in the strictest confidence. We will comply with the provisions of data protection legislation. We use other companies to do some of our work for us and to run and improve our computer systems. Some of these are in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including some where the laws protecting personal information may not be as strong as in the EEA. We take steps to ensure that any companies and intermediaries that we use give an appropriate level of protection. In this Data Protection section ‘we’ means AXA PPP healthcare. ‘You’ means the parent/legal guardian named in section 1. How we will use your information We will process information about you, any Authorised Guardian and your child that may be supplied by those people, healthcare providers and Marsh. We may contact healthcare providers for further information, for example to clarify an invoice, discuss an extension to a stay in hospital, or to get copy medical records. If we need consent to do this, we will get it first. Personal Information will be used to: • provide the services set out under the terms of this plan • administer the plan • develop customer relationships and services. Sharing information with the school, any Appointed Guardian and the school’s intermediary Marsh In order to manage the scheme and relationships with the above we may share non-sensitive information with any of the above who may use the information for the purposes and in a manner consistent with this section and/or legal or regulatory purposes. We will also share information about your child’s mental or physical health or condition with any Authorised Guardian and if it is in your child’s vital interests the school (if not the Authorised Guardian). Information about your child When you give us information about other people, we will take this as confirmation that you have their consent to do so. We will send most correspondence about the plan to the parent/legal guardian. We take both data protection and medical confidentiality very seriously and aim, where possible, to correspond with each individual member over the age of 16 about their claim. This may mean a child under the age of 18 may make a claim without the knowledge of the parent/legal guardian, for example, where the healthcare provider has determined the child is competent to consent to the medical treatment. Your data and fraudulent claims and other crimes If we, or others, suspect that fraudulent claims have been made or other crimes have been committed, we are legally required to disclose information to the relevant law enforcement agencies. We may disclose information to third parties, including other insurers, to prevent or investigate crime. This includes if there is a reasonable suspicion about fraud or improper claims. This may involve adding non-medical information to databases that other insurers and law enforcement agencies and other anti- fraud organisations will be able to access. Your data and fitness to practise We are obliged to notify the General Medical Council or other relevant regulatory body if we have reason to believe a healthcare provider’s fitness to practise may be impaired. This may mean that we need to disclose information about a treatment episode and your plan. Marketing preferences Neither AXA PPP healthcare nor any other members of the AXA Group of companies will use the personal information provided in this form to contact any person about other products or services. Communication will only be in respect of your child’s cover with AXA PPP healthcare including cover options when your child is leaving the school.

3 of 4 5 Appointing an Authorised Guardian

When dealing with an Authorised Guardian AXA PPP healthcare will be able to: • Take details of a claim including health and medical information. • Disclose health and medical information that it may have obtained from healthcare providers. • Dependant on the medical practitioner’s policies, for children under 16 obtain medical practitioner’s notes and reports based on the Authorised Guardian’s consent. An Authorised Guardian will not be able to: • Cancel your child’s cover. • Amend your child’s cover. If you or your child aged 16 or over wish to appoint an Authorised Guardian please complete the relevant part of the application form before returning it to the school. Please ensure you advise the Authorised Guardian you will share their contact details with AXA PPP healthcare, the scheme intermediary, Marsh and the school. Generally AXA PPP healthcare will not deal directly with any pupil under 16 years of age. Any contact regarding claims should be made by the parent/legal guardian who is named on the application form, or the Authorised Guardian. Very rarely AXA PPP healthcare may deal directly with a pupil less than 16 years of age, but only on advice from their doctor that the doctor considers them competent to make their own healthcare decisions and is likewise not looking to deal with an adult on their behalf. AXA PPP healthcare will speak with pupils 16 years or over on the legal presumption that they have the capacity to make their own decisions about their healthcare, unless we have cause to believe this may not be the case. When a child reaches the age of 16 the authorisation from the parent will expire and AXA PPP healthcare will need the child to provide authorisation if the child wishes to appoint an Authorised Guardian. If you choose an Authorised guardian other than the school it should be someone who will be readily available to communicate with AXA PPP healthcare and support your child. If you have already appointed a guardian who will deal with the school on other matters because you are out of the UK, ideally you would choose this person. By appointing an Authorised Guardian you consent to that person discussing claims for your child with AXA PPP healthcare. You also consent to AXA PPP healthcare discussing all aspects of claims, including information regarding the physical or mental health or condition of your child, with that person. You also appoint the Authorised Guardian to act in your place in giving consent, if necessary, to: a) AXA PPP healthcare obtaining information about your child’s mental or physical health or condition from your child’s healthcare practitioners; b) Your child’s healthcare practitioners disclosing to AXA PPP healthcare; information about your child’s mental or physical health or condition; and c) Your child’s healthcare practitioners providing AXA PPP healthcare with copies of information or documents held in your child’s health record to the extent AXA PPP healthcare deem necessary to enable them to assess any claim. d) Make shortfall/excess payments on your child’s behalf. e) Receive payments on behalf of your child from AXA PPP healthcare e.g. for cash payments if your child has in-patient treatment under the NHS. If you appoint an Authorised Guardian and at any point you wish to withdraw your appointment or there is a particular claim that you do not want your chosen Authorised Guardian to deal with, it is your responsibility to make sure that AXA PPP healthcare know this. An Authorised Guardian is different to a Legal Guardian in this process and must be over 21.

Monmouth School Boys’ Prep A Haberdashers’ School

From the Headmaster Mr Neil Shaw MA

INSTRUMENTAL TUITION

We believe strongly that tuition on a musical instrument enriches the lives of our pupils. If you would like to request this for your son, please use the tear-off form at the foot of this note.

At Monmouth School Boys’ Prep, lessons are available on the following instruments: violin, viola, ‘cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, French horn, trumpet, cornet, euphonium, trombone, piano, percussion, voice, and harp. For boys in Year 3, violin, viola, ‘cello and piano lessons only are available unless they are already learning another instrument and wish to continue (subject to the agreement of the Head). Boys applying for piano lessons are expected to have a piano at home on which to practise and the School maintains a large stock of orchestral instruments which can be hired by parents at reasonable rates. Associated Board examinations are held twice yearly at School.

A year’s tuition consists of around 27 lessons, lasting 35 minutes. Each term a charge for lessons is added to your account, typically 11 in the Michaelmas, 10 in the Lent and 6 in the Summer Terms respectively. These take place during the school day. Parents are asked to help with this by ensuring that their son has his music, instrument and practice notebook with him on the day of his lesson. Older boys may have lessons on two instruments in school, subject to approval from the Head of the Grange. Fees for tuition are as detailed on the current fees sheet and these are charged each term in arrears.

If lessons are to be stopped, eight school weeks notice is required, in writing, to Mr David Lawson, Director of Music, Monmouth School for Boys, Monmouth NP25 3XP.

I have read and understood the full terms set out in the covering letter to the timetable.

I am aware that the Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools’ Bus Company plans the annual bus schedule many months in advance and that contracts are issued to bus companies for specific vehicle sizes for a set period and therefore I agree to provide a full term’s notice should my child no longer require the bus.

(For example, if your child is to stop using the bus at the end of the Michaelmas Term, notice must be received before the end of the summer holidays. If your child is due to take their driving test and as the outcome of this is not foreseeable, we recommend you provide us with ‘provisional’ notice. In the event that you withdraw your child from the bus before the notice period has been completed, you will be charged the bus fare in lieu of the uncompleted part of such notice.)
