Hopefully you are all geared up and ready to tackle your first year as new Littlewood parents. Just some information we would like you to take note of before next year.
Boarding school is probably a new experience for your son and yourself and we have learnt through experience that the first few weeks in Boarding school are crucial. This is the time when your son will find his niche in the boarding house and become accustomed to a new way of life. He will need to get used to not having his Mom or Dad around and to start becoming more independent. To make this transition easier we have put together a programme for your son’s first 2 ½ weeks in Littlewood.
The first 2 weekends of term (18 – 20 January and 25 – 27 January) will be compulsory in-weekends for all our grade 8 boarders. Full programmes have been developed for these weekends. The first weekend is the school Grade 8 camp and for the second weekend I have put together a programme for the Grade 8’s in the boarding house. It would be appreciated if, for the second weekend, you could provide your son with some pocket money for use on an outing.
From 18 January – 1 February, all visits to your son are please to be kept for absolute emergencies only. We discourage too much communication during this time as this can sometimes disrupt your son’s settling-in. These measures are there to ensure that your son is able to get into the swing of boarding house life without always relying on Mom or Dad to be there.
Official visiting time has been set-aside on Sunday 20 January and Sunday 27 January from 15:00 until17:00. During this time you are more than welcome to visit and find out all about the happenings of your son’s first weeks in Littlewood.
Should you have any queries regarding the above, please do not hesitate to call us.
We wish you a safe and joyful Festive Season and look forward to seeing you next year.
