Supervision and Safety

The British Council
English Country Schools have been running for over 20 years and are Accredited by The British Council. Inspectors visit the schools to examine the premises, teaching, food, welfare, etc. This encourages excellence and ensures that your child will be well taught and cared for.

24 hour supervision
Students are under the constant care and attention of experienced staff from arrival to departure. There is a 1:8 staff:student ratio. Safety is an absolute priority. Each boarding house has its own House Parent to oversee the supervision and welfare of the children. The atmosphere is friendly and caring and a local doctor is available 24 hours. Our Child Protection Policy document is available here. 

English UK
English Country Schools are a member of the language teaching association English UK. Membership provides additional safeguards and benefits for students.
 
Appraisal and regular reporting
Parents receive weekly electronic reports on their child's progress. Regular appraisals for students and staff help to ensure high standards on an ongoing, daily basis.
 
Parental contacts
A list of parental contacts worldwide is available here. Any of the parents will be willing to discuss their child’s experience of the course.
