Ellen Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 hello - do they bring everything home at half term ? or at end of year ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snape Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 They Bring most things home at 1/2 term but they leave the duvet pillows. Everything comes home at the end of year ( slowly in three trips for us!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regattah Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sorry to disagree, Snape, but they don't need to bring most things home at half term - just what they need or what they want to wash. By the end of her time there my DD was coming home by herself on the train, so just bringing what she could carry. They do have to bring everything home at the end of term though. My DD was allowed to keep a little bit of stuff there as she was classed 'overseas'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snape Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Oh Regattah, that's good to know. I just did what the matrons said ( maybe because my DD is younger) they need to have a good clean under those beds! Hehe. She is taking much less this year! Most of the space is bedding, towels and various stretching things! Hopefully she can leave some of that there. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogalou Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi DD was wondering about breakfast, do they make their own in the boarding house and what is available for breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snape Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 This is what my DD says, Clovelly (younger girls) don't know about oldies: Breakfast is at the boarding house. Monday to Friday they can have cereal/toast sometimes yogurts and fruit and the special which changes daily, can be pancakes, porridge, croissants, beans different things. Breakfast is delivered hot if it is hot? Year 7 get help with making hot things if they want them at other times, year 8 do a bit more themselves. Apparently! Saturday: cereals and toast, yogurts Sunday: cooked breakfast DD says you can take your own cereal or whatever if you don't like any they have but there really is no need, they are fed really well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I saw a few tearful new DD's when dropping my now year 11 DD last night. Hoping that they have begun to make friends and are having an exciting first day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ha, wait until the end of year 11 - that's when they get to cry. The boys were actually worse than the girls after the last show, we were all standing there a good half an hour later while they composed themselves. And they weren't even actually going home then. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having oldest DD there has been a real bonus for her although they look so alike she's been told off twice for not being in 6th form class 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually this happens at the beginning then they fine for rest of year fingers crossed they all follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picturesinthefirelight Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hope it doesn't spread to other years as dd is on a theatre trip tonight & is staying in boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Haven't heard that its in our year/house Pictures!! DD exhausted this last couple of days cos of 8am class Wed and late night tonight! So some well earned lie-ins this weekend I think xx Looking forward to Parents tea tomorrow - have a fab first exeat everyone xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) That 8 am class is a killer! The rest of her year after having to get up early said to dd how do you do this every day? Then she pointed out that at yes she's up at 6.30 & out by 7.15 every day but to get to 8am class she has to leave home at 6.45am.

mumof6 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 im so excited about today about the parents tea and bringing dd home, even though i visited my dd last week to bring her some stuff and she rings me every night, it seems like ages ive missed her so much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Don't think it's the school side of things as DD used to 8.30 start and 6.00pm finish with 4 hrs timetabled dance a day! It's the travelling from house to school thats new and making her feel tired!! Plus all the new routines! Hopefully a nice weekend at home will sort everyone out - lots of hugs and tlc for everyone!! Enjoy the weekend xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) It's only 10-15 mins journey isn't it from the boarding house to school? Dd will consider this morning as a lie in. The short journey from the boarding house will be a welcome luxury after last nights late night. It takes over an hour for her to get to school & back. I don't know how she does it! Early finish tonight for her but she will have to wait until 5pm for her dad to finish before she comes home.
