Safety first
Safety is our top priority. Highly qualified teachers and instructors are employed to maintain top-quality provision. All equipment is modern and meticulously maintained to ensure the highest levels of safety and enjoyment.
Visiting staff expectations
We will handle all aspects of the day-to-day course operations and safety. We kindly request that visiting staff provide supervision during mealtimes, bedtime, and free time. While many staff members choose to participate in activities, this is entirely optional.
Sleeping arrangements
Guests become part of our extended family during their stay. Visiting staff stay in the Main House, attached Coach House or Lodge, where comfortable en-suite rooms await. Student rooms accommodate between 4 and 8 beds, each with its own bathroom.
Catering arrangements
Meals are served in the Dining Room or Conservatory. A hot English breakfast, packed lunch, and two-course evening meal are provided daily. Our home-cooked food is both nourishing and abundant.
What will students need?
We will provide students with a clothing list to assist with packing. We’ll also require a signed medical form. All specialised kit and equipment is provided. Students may wish to bring spending money for souvenirs and treats, but everything else is included in the price.
Mobile phone policy
Mobile phone access is limited to allow daily contact with parents and ensure students can make the most of every minute!
