FAQs for Parents:

听

Q. Is 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 suitable for students who are under 18 years old?

A. Our English courses are suitable for students aged 16 and older, but your child will be travelling independently and we do not provide 24-hour supervision, so it is very important that parents consider whether students under 18 are sufficiently emotionally mature to travel alone and behave responsibly during their stay at our centres.

Q. Where will my child live?

A. For accommodation organised by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, all students under 18 years will be accommodated in homestay where adults in the house have had criminal record checks. If accommodation for your child is not arranged by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, you MUST provide us with full address and contact details of where he/she will be staying, including the name of the person who will be responsible for your child.

Q. How will my child travel between the airport and his/her accommodation?

A. We strongly advise students aged 16 and 17 to book our airport transfer service, to avoid any problems upon arrival.

Q. Will my child be studying in adult classes?

A. Yes, students aged 16/17 will study in classes with adults. Students under 16 will only be accepted as part of a closed group or taught individually.

Q. Do all 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 staff have criminal record checks?

A. Yes, all 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 staff have enhanced DBS checks (Disclosure & Barring Service 鈥� the British 鈥榩olice check鈥�).

Q. How will 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 staff know my child is under 18?

Q. How will 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 staff know my child is at college?

A. In addition to the class register, your child will be required to sign in and out of the college on a daily basis in reception.

听

Q. What will you do if my child is not at college when they should be?

A. We will attempt to contact any student under 18 who has not arrived at the college within 30 minutes of the start of his/her first class. If we cannot contact the student by telephone or at the host family, we will contact you, your registered agent and/or the police as appropriate.

听

Q. Will my child be supervised outside of lesson times?

A. No. Your child will not be supervised during their free time, i.e between the end of their lessons at the school and returning to their homestay, or at weekends. Your child will travel between the school and the host family unsupervised. However they will be provided with a college number which they can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in an emergency.

Q. Is there a time my child must return home to their host family in the evening?

A. If they are late, the homestay will contact the college and we will attempt to contact the student. If we are unable to, we will contact you, your registered agent and/or the police as appropriate.

听

Q. Can my child go away for the weekend or stay overnight at a friend or relative?

A. Yes, but you must give consent in writing in advance. The college reserves the right to amend or refuse such requests in line with college policy and regulatory guidelines.

Q. Can my child take part in social activities arranged by the college?

A. The school aims to provide a number of activities which are suitable for under-18s; you can see examples of the social programme on our web site. If your child wishes to join a school social activity, he/she MUST sign up in advance so we can ensure there is sufficient supervision. If he/she does not sign up, he/she may not be allowed to attend. Certain activities are not suitable for students under 18. It should also be understood that students attending evening social events are expected to arrange their own travel home. We strongly advise all students under 18 to return to their host family with a friend, preferably by taxi, particularly when it is dark.

听

Q. Are there any college activities at the weekend?

A. No but 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 students can book full-day trips on Saturdays and Sundays. These are organised by an external company. The company will be informed where students are under 18 so they can have special regard for the student鈥檚 welfare.

A. We will help your child if they are unwell and help book an appointment with a doctor if necessary. In an emergency we would organise medical treatment as recommended by a medical professional.

听

Q. What do I do if I am worried or have any concerns?
