How It Works

Ensure that students are dropped off at the designated drop-off point by 07:40 each morning. This is crucial as it aligns with the students’ schedules and ensures they are on time for their activities.

Students don’t arrive back until at least 18:30, where you’ll need to collect them from your centre’s designated collection point.

Prior to your student’s arriving, you will be provided with their itinerary (including pick up times).  

Breakfast: Provide a nutritious ‘help yourself’ breakfast each morning. This could include options such as cereals, toast, fruit, and juice. 

There is no requirement to provide a cooked breakfast.

Packed Lunch: Prepare a packed lunch for students to take with them. Packed lunches should include 2 filled rolls, crisps, a chocolate bar or cake, a piece of fruit and water.

We do not allow sandwiches.

Evening Meal: Serve a hot evening meal that is both hearty and varied. Aim to offer a range of meals that reflect British cuisine, such as bangers and mash, pasta dishes, pizza and chips or traditional British fare. It’s an opportunity to introduce students to our cuisine and culture.

Special Dietary Requirements: If a student has any allergies or dietary preferences, you will be informed in advance. 

Showers: Ensure that students shower in the evening. 

Evening Interaction: Engage with students in the evening. This can include activities such as playing board games, watching films, or simply having conversations. While evenings can be short, spending time together helps build a connection and enriches their experience.

Comfortable Environment: Provide a clean, safe, and comfortable living space for students. Their room should be well-maintained, with fresh bedding and a quiet area for rest.

Support and Interaction: Be available to support students and address any questions or concerns they may have. Encourage them to feel at home and participate in family activities where possible.
