Living with a host is an important part of a student’s stay with
us; it provides an opportunity to experience real-life in
Britain and also to practice English.
Students stay with carefully selected hosts, no further than 30
minutes from the school by bus (this is approx. rush hour times
but journeys are often shorter).
We work with a long-standing and professional accommodation
agency to ensure that a student’s host experience is
hassle-free.

We have hosts within walking distance of the school too but
generally, students can expect to travel up to the time
indicated above to get to school.
Everybody receives a travel card (bus pass) for the entire
duration of their stay which allows them to travel freely on the
buses without worrying about fares.
Hosts
provide half-board (breakfast and evening meal) accommodation
during the week and full-board (breakfast, lunch and evening
meal) at the weekend.
If students
are going on excursions or doing activities at the weekend, our
hosts provide a packed lunch.
During the
week, lunches are provided at the school.
Our hosts
enjoy what they do and often treat students like their own
children. You will be expected to make your bed in the morning
and clean up after you, just like at home in your country, for
example!
Communication is crucial in our business and everyone involved
is closely connected. If a
student decides to stay out later
than they are allowed one evening, the host quickly informs the
organiser, who in turn informs the school, who then contact the
group leader or agent – it doesn’t take us long to find out what
is going on, rest assured.
Even our taxi drivers look out for our students and if they see
them walking around at a time when they should be at home, they
contact the school with details – basically, everyone involved
works closely together to make sure things go to plan.
Students sometimes think this is a bit harsh but of course, we
see it differently – it’s all about keeping them safe & well and
ensuring everyone has a good time.

"I had a
really nice holiday here also because of my host family and my 'new
home' - they were simply fantastic with us."
