Welcome to Hatherop Castle Summer School. 

We are excited to have you joining us for an unforgettable summer of fun and engaging learning experiences. 

To ensure a positive and respectful environment for everyone, we ask for full commitment to the following behaviour standards:

Be kind and considerate to our peers, staff and others.  
Listen when others are speaking and respect their opinions. 
 

2. Use positive language:  

Don’t use inappropriate or hurtful language.  
Offer encouragement and constructive feedback. 

3. Handle conflicts peacefully:  
   If a disagreement arises, seek to resolve it calmly and respectfully. 
   If needed, ask a staff member for help with the situation. 

2. Participation and Engagement 

1. Actively participate:  
   Engage in class and in activities. 
   Always speak in English. 
    

2. Be on time:  
   Arrive to class and activities on time, ready to participate.

   Clean up after yourself and report any damage to property. 

 4. Online and Digital  

1. Limit your mobile phone use: 
   Only use your mobile phone when allowed, and hand it over to staff when asked. 
   Focus on the people around you rather than on your phone even when you have it with you.
