How To Be Matron’s Favourite – Tilly J

Coming from a full boarder, these are my steps on a quick and efficient way on becoming Matron’s favourite

Step One:

Have an older sibling (preferably two) to scavenge for any second-hand uniform and label them at least one full term before you start at RHS (thanks Lottie and Jessie!)

Step Two:

Spend at least thirty minutes every week sorting the kitchens out (yes that really means venturing into the junior kitchens)

Step Three:

Always have a tidy room

Step Four:

Always wait patiently for your phone and try not to break the office door down whilst in the process of waiting

Step Five:

NEVER walk past with a ladder in your tights 

Step Six:

Consume a minimum of 10 sausage (or the vegetarian/vegan alternative) rolls on Sports Day

Step Seven:

Always say ‘Good Morning’ when you go downstairs for morning roll call or whenever you walk into house

Step Eight:

Everyday, have a 10-minute chat/gossip

Step Nine:

Have all your clothes labelled with name, house and laundry number, like in the photo below

And finally…

Step 10:
REMEMBER YOUR PLEASES AND THANK YOUS

Completion of all steps correctly should guarantee free second-hand school uniform (maybe even a pair of tracksuits too) and extra cheese scones (if you’re in Hood or any house where Matron bakes Mary Berry-level treats)

However, all matrons vary so some may expect a little bit more/less to get in their good books.
