During the afternoon breaks, there will be some juice and biscuits for us to enjoy. Come 4.30pm, it’s time to be picked up by parents and to tell them all about our exciting day!

What about welfare?

Student care includes:

1.

Male and female Safeguarding Officers

2.

All teaching and activity staff hold an Enhanced DBS check - when waiting for a check to be completed a declaration is signed and the staff member is not in contact with under 18s until a clear DBS has been returned

3.

24-hour emergency number to call

4.

Relevant training for all staff involved

Safeguarding Policy for the Young Learners

Our Supervision ratios ON TRIPS

Child (8-15 years old)

Supervision ratios for these groups must be one group leader to every 10 students. Measures such as staggering break times, allocating such groups to floors where no adult classes are held and thorough student and group leader inductions will take place to ensure student safety.

Young Adult (16-17 years old)

Young Adult supervision ratio would ideally be 1 staff member for every 15 students but where possible 1 staff member to every 10 students would be best practice.

Specialist Qualifications

Our staff undergo regular training on delivering lessons and leading activities for under 18s. All staff members complete the Safeguarding Level 1 training course and hold an enhanced DBS check. Activity Leaders undergo additional training to equip them with ideas on how to help our students make the most of their time in London.

Estou amando a escola, os professores são super profissionais, atenciosos e amigáveis. Nas aulas ninguém fica com dúvida alguma, sempre tem alguém tirando dúvidas e conversando em inglês que é a melhor parte.

People are so nice, friendly in speakup London. I stayed 4 weeks and every morning it was a pleasure to come to my english course. They are very professional and if a teacher is ill, he's imediatly recovered. They always do their best to make you feel well. I would entrust my children to them for courses eyes closed. Also, it's very well situated. Thanks a lot, hope I will find the job suitable for me!
