BEDDING
All sheets are provided by the school.
Duvet covers, duvet inners and pillows are also provided, but Boarders are welcome to bring their own duvet covers, inners and pillows to personalise their beds. These need to fit a single bed only.
Our dormitories are air-conditioned, but students are welcome to bring their own blanket for the winter months. Please label any bedding that belongs to your child, including pillow cases and duvet covers.

A recreation room is provided for all the boarding boys and girls where they are able to read, play board games or fuse ball and listen to music. Television is only permitted if the weather is inclement
CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS
Please advise the School and Heads of Boarding of any change of address, e-mail address and phone numbers as soon as possible.
CHAPEL
All students at Southwell are expected to attend their designated year group, or House Chapel service each term. These dates are communicated on the school planner. Parents need to communicate with Heads of Boarding if their child is unable to attend their designated service. Boarders are required to wear their Number One uniform.
COMMUNICATION
Should you wish to communicate with the House staff regarding non-urgent matters, the best option is to e-mail. The Heads of Boarding also have mobile phones which can be used to text or call for more urgent matters. Please note that Keith Rees-Gibbs is the first point of contact for issues concerning boys and Louise Sybrandy for girls.
Please be aware that the Heads of Boarding teach and coach sport so at times you may have to leave a message. Refer to page 3 for relevant contact details.
