course, students will develop vital life skills

through their participation in classes,

activities and excursions. They will also

cultures and explore new places

YOUR home from homeWe place the highest priority on care and supervision at our Academy schools to ensure students feel relaxed, comfortable and supported - creating a home away from home. Our International Student Ambassadors give our Academy

students the opportunity to interact with British students for an even more authentic and valuable experience.

STUDENT CARE AND WELFAREThe accommodation is made up of

various boarding houses and single

and shared rooms that are homely

and comfortable.

Each boarding house has a house parent

who provides the pastoral care required

for the students in that house, waking

them up every morning, making sure

they eat well and are happy and

participating.

A UK registered nurse visits each

Academy venue every day between

Monday and Friday, to support students

medical needs. For other medical issues,

we will take the student to the nearest

doctor or hospital.

MEALSA range of food is available at our

Academy schools with three meals served

per day. Additional snacks and drinks are

also available twice a day. On full-day

provided.

designed to meet the needs of

international students.

at Warminster during the summer of 2018

and we are pleased to introduce this

concept in both our academies for 2019.

Our International Student Ambassadors

(ISA’s) are local students between the

ages of 13-17, who welcome our academy

students and give them an insight into life

growing up in the UK.

The ISAs will be integrated into our

programmes and spend lessons, activities

and free time together with our Academy

students, to help them settle into their new

environment and make English friends

that are their own age.

THE ISA’S ARE THERE TO:· Provide an opportunity to practise

English language skills

· Socialise during free time and activities

Should a student continue to misbehave, or if a single offence is sufficiently serious, a written warning may be issued. Once a written warning has been issued Embassy will contact the agent or guardian as soon as possible, allowing differences in time zones. Any student who has been issued with a written warning will be made fully aware that any further incidents will result in removal from the centre.

14. Expulsion Students who have been issued with a written warning and continue to commit offences will be expelled from the centre.
