Booking information

Is my child guaranteed a place at ECS?

To encourage the use of English socially during our residential summer course, we accept a maximum of five boys and five girls in each age group who share the same mother tongue. We are a relatively small organisation with an enviable reputation. We therefore advise early booking to be sure of a place.

Deposit and payment

If a place is available, we will send you an email requesting a deposit payment of GBP 350. You can pay securely by Visa, Mastercard, Amex or bank transfer in your local currency at ecs.flywire.com or by bank transfer in GBP Sterling or Euros.

All payments are refundable (minus any bank charges) if the child is unable to attend due to official government Covid-19 restrictions in your country or the UK.

The balance of fees is payable six weeks before arrival. Our system will send automatic reminders when payments are due.

Parental portal

On receipt of your deposit payment we will give you access to our ECS parental portal where you can check the booking details, view pre-course documentation (clothes list, travel directions, etc) and provide travel and medical details.

If your child needs a visa, we are happy to send you send a Letter of Confirmation. Learn more about visa requirements here. During the course you will be able to follow your child's progress with online reports in your account.

You will receive automatic reminders from the system when payments are due, if travel details are incomplete and, during the course, when a report is ready to view.

Terms and conditions


Accuracy of Details
Booking details must be accurate. We may ask for ID like a passport to confirm a child's age and identity. If proof isn't provided or details are significantly wrong, we can remove the child without a refund.

The deposit 
To secure your booking, pay a non-refundable GBP 350 deposit within 10 days. If not paid, the place will be offered to other students.

The balance
This is payable six weeks before your child attends. For bookings made less than 6 weeks before attending, the full fee is payable within 10 days. Any fees unpaid after 14 days from the invoice date will result in cancellation.

Cancellation & withdrawal
No refunds if a child cancels after June 1st, or misses or leaves a course. Written cancellations before June 1st may get a partial or full refund if we can fill the vacancy. Depending on the reason, you might be able to reclaim losses from our insurers.

Visa refusal
We will refund all payments minus the booking deposit and any bank charges for pupils who are unable to attend due to a visa refusal, on production of a valid visa refusal letter, if in our opinion the reason for refusal is unreasonable.

Exclusion
We can send a child home at any time, at the parent or guardian's expense, for their best interest or if their behaviour harms the school. Reasons may include - but are not limited to - severe incontinence, self-harm, alcohol or drug use, repeated smoking, and bullying.

Changes to the programme
We publish programme details in good faith but may change any part of the course if needed.
