Student welfare and safety are always our top priorities at Kings Summer.

We understand and acknowledge the trust that is put in us, and take our responsibility very seriously.

To ensure students are safe at all times we have put the following measures into place: A ll lessons and activities are compulsory. A t our Vacation Extra centres the homestay providers and residence supervisors are responsible for students at their accommodation, and ensure that curfews are followed every night. A t the Residential Summer Centres House Parents or Night Supervisors monitor the halls of residence throughout the night time period. T eachers take attendance registers at the start of every lesson and registers are taken on activities and excursions. T here is a designated Welfare Manager at each of our locations. S taff to student ratios are excellent.

 Individual students at the Residential Summer Centres are allocated a staff member to act as their guardian during their stay. They will have a daily meeting throughout their stay.  Students are all issued with ID cards and wristbands with emergency contact information.  There are designated staff with first aid training at each centre.  We have strict recruitment procedures and staff are hired subject to suitable references and background checks.  A 24-hour emergency phone service for students, staff and parents is in place.  We have a regularly reviewed child safeguarding policy.  Child safeguarding forms an integral part of staff training.

A WORLD OF FRIENDSHIP With nearly 60 different countries represented last year, our students share great times with friends from all over the world. This means they will be able to experience other cultures while they are in the UK or USA.
