Safety & Supervision
First-aid trained staff
Our managers are fully first aid trained and at least one first aid trained member of staff will be present on each excursion. Sports coaches and lifeguards have all completed professional training. All staff are fully briefed on fire and emergency safety procedures in advance of the students’ arrival, and fire and emergency procedures are practiced with the students in their induction and throughout their stay. Premises, facilities, activities and excursions are all fully risk assessed, and these documents are read and updated regularly by staff members. There is a safeguarding lead at each centre and all staff carry out comprehensive, professional safeguarding training.
Screen time policy
Students are encouraged away from using their phones during planned excursions and activities. During lessons, mobile phones are generally not allowed except on occasions when the students may be asked to use their search engines to help them research an area of study. During free time and overnight students have access to their own devices in order to have the freedom to call home at their own leisure.

This exciting summer programme is held in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and offers learners the chance to participate in immersive English lessons in the mornings and take part in world-class football training with a UEFA-A licensed coach, or multi-sports training in the afternoons. On excursion days, students will visit Premier League football stadiums such as Anfield, the home of the unstoppable Liverpool FC, and Etihad Stadium, home to the league-busting Manchester City. Students can also enjoy trips to York, Liverpool, Scarborough or Knaresborough to experience the best of the stunning scenery, beaches and sights in the North of England. An opportunity to experience boarding school life at its best, the camp will take place in historic Ackworth School near Pontefract, where students can benefit from a secure and private campus offering top-notch sporting facilities including an indoor pool, professional-level football facilities, tennis courts, and a gymnasium.
