Sanctions which may be applied include:

• Temporary or permanent removal from a particular activity within a course or from a course.

The fair interpretation of these rules and any sanctions is entrusted to the Course Tutors. Course Tutors will keep a record of any concerns and will consult with the Summer School lead member of Senior Staff on duty for the session and / or with the Deputy Head (International Schools and Projects). Any serious breaches of the rules and anything at all related to Rule 9 will always be referred to the Senior Staff on duty or the Deputy Head.

The rules apply equally to members of The Perse School community and to all other pupils attending the Summer School. Pupils of The Perse School should realise that they remain representatives of The Perse School itself during Summer School and they will be treated as such.
