Digital Devices
Please order your child’s device before 18th July to ensure it arrives for the start of term. You can order after this date, however we cannot guarantee it will arrive for the start of term. You can learn about our Digital Devices on our dedicated webpage here. To order your child’s device:
- Go to Easy4u – CTS
- Choose your device and select the term of your Easy4u Service
- Opt to rent or purchase (plans can be found on the Digital Device webpage)
- Fill in all details and choose your payment option
- You will receive an order confirmation by email
Please note: if you select the option to buy (not rent) you are then asked to choose between a 24-month or 36-month agreement. This relates only to the length of the insurance. You are still buying it outright; it’s simply a matter of how long you want the laptop to be covered by the insurance. If you have any questions regarding devices please do email IT Support on support@boxhillschool.com.
Bus Routes
If you haven’t yet, please do fill our your preferred bus route as soon as possible and send this to our transport manager, Helen Sage, helen.sage@boxhillschool.com.
Music Lessons
Learning a musical instrument is a fantastic way for your child to develop creativity, confidence and concentration. If your child would like to take peripatetic lessons on their chosen instrument next year, please complete the form below or email us the details as soon as possible. This will help us ensure that your child gets a place for lessons starting in September.
LAMDA
LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) lessons are a brilliant way for your child to build confidence, improve communication skills, and develop their performance abilities. Whether it’s acting, public speaking, or verse and prose, LAMDA helps students express themselves clearly and creatively which are valuable skills both in and out of the classroom.
If your child would like to take LAMDA lessons next year, please complete the form below or email us the details as soon as possible. Please email them back to Caroline Lowe, Lowec@boxhillschool.com. This will help us secure their place ready for September.
