Our group leaders are the main contacts for our students and the activities team ensures everyone is fully inducted into this little society that is the campus or a school on arrival.
The activities team, with its hands-on approach, its joie de vivre and the sense of security it instills in young people is a key factor in the success of the stay.
On our campuses we have a robust organizational structure that meets specific standards: a Center Manager (Coordinates all staff), a Teaching Department Head (Manages the teaching team), an Activities Manager (Manages the activities team), a Deputy Activities Manager (The Activities Manager’s deputy), Wardens in the boarding house in the day-time when boarders are there and at night.
Safety
Strict control of entry and exit!
Activities teams record students as they arrive and leave and ensure that parental permissions are enforced and that everyone gets back safely without leaving anything to chance.
At night the supervisors, managers and activity leaders, sleep on-site whilst night wardens are on duty by 7.30 pm.
In the day time a free shuttle bus service connects the campus with the town center and beaches and our additional fee-paying activities comply with European safety standards.
