Student Supervision

How are the students supervised?

Students are met at the airport and all activities and residential accommodation is supervised according to British Council’s 1999 recommendations:

• Minimum two adults with every group of students who leave the College
• Minimum one adult to every 15 students aged 12 or over
• Minimum one adult for every for every 8 students age under 12

All our staff are checked with the Police to make sure they are suitable people to work with children.

Residential students can only go out of the College alone in the afternoon or evening if their parents give written permission. Homestay students have more independence, but they must be home by the following times (except when there are College activities later in the evening):

• Age 13-15: 21:00
• Age 16: 22:00

How much pocket money do students need?

Residential students need money for the laundry (about £3.00 per wash) and everyone needs money for sweets, snacks and souvenir shopping. Maybe £25 - £50 per week plus at least £50 for emergencies. The College can act as a bank and look after the students’ money (and passport and ticket) for them.

What happens if the student is sick?

The College has First Aid trained staff on the premises at all times. If a child needs a doctor or a dentist, we will arrange this, though the child may have to pay. We strongly recommend that all students have insurance.
