The safety of our students is very important to us. Weymouth and Portland has proved to be a safe area for our courses. We will send you full information about your stay in England before you come to Weymouth, including information about staying safe. We will also go through these points with you on your first day at school and answer any questions you might have. We have a Safeguarding Policy which details all that the school does to ensure your safety at all times during your stay in England. Risk assessments are carried out for every activity the students engage in.
