reserves the right to refuse entry to any student.

cuniculum. Every pupil has a study plan outliningbis/her evening obligations day by day and parents

a pupil appears to be doing too little work, parents should contact the form teacher at once.
G Homework can be excused only after the receipt and approval by the teacher concerned of a
letter from a parent setting out the reasons. Social engagements are not acceptable as an excuse.
It is essential that pupils endeavour to catch up on any missed work as soon as possible.

by a teacher. Pupils visiting the school's sports hall or any of the school's grounds or taking part in a
school visit of any kind, whether in term or in the holidays, are subject to school rules.

Most walkers will know the value of a good backpack. Choosing one is a different matter, as any trip to
an outdoor shop will reveal. To help, gear expert Peter Hawkins examines the ins and outs of a backpack.
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make rucksacks.
If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose
5 from. So before you set foot in an outdoor shop consider what you want your rucksack for.
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If your walks are short summer evening
strolls then a small sack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your sack
will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains a flask, packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I've peeled off
during the day, first aid kit and an emergency shelter. In winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. I need
10 a sack with a reasonable capacity.
My current backpack is a Craghopper AD30 (30 lltres) which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often
lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry more.
Compare my list with yours to see if you need"asmuch carrying space.
The second consideration is weight. Choose a light sack, but make sure it can take the weight of what
15 you are carrying and it supports the load comfortably on your back.
The next thing to consider is the rucksack's features. Today you can get quite technically advanced
backpacks boasting excellent features: advanced fabrics, a variety of side and lid pockets, loops for walking
poles, internal frames, adjustable straps, hip belts and clever ventilation systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you
20 easy access.Some have narrow necks that make removing bulky items difficult. It's also important to
choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin rucksack rather
than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, 1 have a hip belt round my stomach!
Last, and probably least, we have the look of the sack to consider. Obviously you can't see it when it's
on your back, but why buy something that won't look good on you? After all, there's no shortage of
25 colours or designs to choose from.

backpack .
