mealtimes<br />
• Parents are able to share in their children’s lives every<br />

worlds<br />

twice a year.
How to take this further:<br />

obtained or the student is given one <strong>of</strong> a limited<br />
number <strong>of</strong> ‘non-preference’ places<br />

the hostel is given at this time.<br />

secure their place<br />
• Wait-listed families are normally informed <strong>of</strong> the outcome<br />
in early June.
