Mr Cane-Hardy’s response

Can we have more chairs in the Gun Room?

We already have so much in the Gun Room – computers, pool table, tennis table, TV – I think we are short of space and more chairs would make things worse. We’ve just moved the table football to create more space.

Can we have another sofa in the 3 Form Day room?

Again we are short of space and need room for changing etc.
We need a notice board in the day room.

There is a big notice board which is almost empty in the corridor outside the day room.

Can we have a greater variety of posters? Not just superheroes but some women. 

Seriously? The theme is superheroes and I’m ‘really upset’ you don’t like them. However, there are other posters – a giraffe, a car, a Minion. I’m happy for you to bring some posters in but no naked women!!!

Can we have a place to store bags in the day room?

Good idea – I will ask if one can be put in.

Can we have a slushi machine?
No.
Can the orange squash be stronger?
I’ll speak to Gail and see what she thinks.
Can we have a slide?
Great idea Sam.

Please remove bunk beds
I know they’re not ideal but we need to use bunk beds in smaller rooms where there is not space for a separate bed and desk. I will try to make sure everyone has at least one term in a low bed.

Can we have plastic disposable cups?
I think it is good to practice washing up after we have a drink.

Can there be a sofa on the top floor?
If we get a new sofa for the Gun Room then I’d be happy to move one of the older sofas upstairs.

We need house sweatshirts.
No we don’t.
We need a new carpet downstairs.
I have asked for this and I hope it will happen this year….

Lower 6
Can we have a gym in the house?
No for the following reasons: 1. No space 2. There is a school gym 3. How would we supervise it?

Can we have a house flag?
It would be good but it would be expensive and we don’t have a flag pole!

Can we have a sofa upstairs?
See above

We need better house team names. Why have they been named after the Lord of the Rings?
The Upper Sixth are weird and love Lord of the Rings. Next year you can choose the team names….

Can we have cheese and ham in the galley?
No for the following reasons: 1. I worry that the first people to the fridge would eat it all. 2. It would be expensive and I ran out of money last year! 3. We have cheese and ham toasties every few weeks.


Upper Sixth
Can we have repairs to some of the rooms in the house?
Agreed – I have sent a maintenance list to the Bursar.

We need a new carpet in the Gun Room
See above
