Washing

In the Château, there are three washrooms that the children can use all with private showers, washbasins and separate lavatories. In Les Communs, there is a washroom with two showers, washbasins and two lavatories. There are also boys and girls lavatories and washbasins near the classrooms.

Food
Food is planned and prepared by Martine Marti, who is assisted by two cooks. We serve a traditional French menu and special dietary needs can also be catered for.

Kitchens
The cuisine was rebuilt in 2003 and has separate rooms for deliveries, storage, refrigeration, personal washing, washing up, food preparation and cooking. There are two dining rooms and the children eat outside when possible - especially in the summer term.

Cleaning
The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned by the domestic staff, although twice a week there is a dormitory tidiness competition – called Rangez les chambres. Scores are published on the website under ‘News and Photos’.

Laundry
The laundry room has three industrial washing machines and two industrial driers. Clothes are washed and ironed by the domestic staff.

Out of bounds of the Château
Pupils are shown the limit of the school grounds and may not leave the grounds except under staff supervision and with permission. A clear ditch marks the limit of the Château grounds.

Worship
There is a religious based assembly held on Sunday mornings in the Assembly Room. There is usually the offer of a chance to attend a local church or cathedral service on Sunday mornings on a voluntary basis.

Health and safety
Health and safety are the responsibility of Mr Bailey assisted by his staff and local professionals. The local Doctor is a regular visitor and is available at all times to assist if necessary. The nearest casualty department is a 5-minute drive, although there is a superb children’s hospital in Toulouse.
