We are experienced educational specialists. Before, during and after your stay, you can be sure you will get the “Best in Bath” service.

Safety and Security

We place high importance on the safety and security of our students, and have many years’ experience in dealing with teenagers. Our pastoral care systems are designed to ensure that we are aware of any problems students may have. Members of staff are available to assist, and all students are given a 24-hour emergency phone number.

Students are expected to travel between homestay and school using public buses and/or by walking. The journey time between homestay and school will not normally exceed thirty minutes. There are periods of the day when students are unsupervised: on the journey to and from school; at the end of the school day; at break and lunchtime if they choose to go out of school; on independent evening arrangements. On organised activities outside school we aim to have a ratio of staff to students of 1:12.
