‘Off Games’: contact Ms Newcombe

• If your son is not well enough to take part in Games a parent should email the Attendance Secretary, Ms Newcombe confirming the reason. This email should be sent, to Ms Newcombe (not the member of staff running the sessions) before 8.35 am on the day in question. We also ask that the Sports injury record form below is completed so that we can monitor injuries and assist where required. A link to the injury record form is below.

MTS Sports Injury Record Form (office.com)

Pupils who are “off-games”, must attend their Games activity at the start of the session to register. In the most cases, pupils will be required to stay with their Games option and assist the coach/teacher where required. In exceptional circumstances, the pupil will be allowed to leave the session, but this is at the discretion of the teacher in charge.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, Upper Third Form, Divisions, Fifth Form and Sixth Form boys who are off games and not needed for the Games session should register at 2.40pm with the Attendance Secretary or a supervising member of staff and are free to go home after Period 5.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Third Form and Fourth Form boys who are off games and not needed for the Games session should register at 2.40pm with the Attendance Secretary or a supervising member of staff. These boys are free to go home after Period 5.

On non-Games afternoons, Sixth Form Boys who do not have a lesson period 5 are not typically permitted to leave site early. These boys will be expected to register with a member of staff at 2.40pm and pursue their studies on-site in an independent fashion.
