You will need to hand in your passport and travel documents on arrival.

You will be given a personalised ID Card which you must keep with you at all times. If you lose it, there will be a £5 charge for a new one.

ACCOMMODATION

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:32:55 UTC

Students will usually share a bedroom with two or three other students, where possible, of different nationalities.

Students must look after their bedroom and keep it clean and tidy.

Any damage caused to Bede’s property or equipment, or to the personal property of another student, will be charged to the Parent.

Laundry

Laundry is done twice a week, usually one white wash and one colour wash.
Put your clothes in a laundry bag or washing basket and when the washing has been done and dried, we will return it to you.
Your House Parent will let you know when the washing days are for your House.

MEALS

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:34:40 UTC

There are always two hot choices available for lunch and dinner and there is always a salad bar. In addition, there is always a vegetarian option at meal times.

Having different food is part of being in another country and being at Bede’s is a great opportunity to try some new, typically English dishes.

LESSONS

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:39:07 UTC

After arrival, you will sit a placement test with three sections: speaking, grammar and writing. The tests take about 11⁄2 hours to complete.

Each week, you will be given a short test by your English Skills teacher to monitor your progress.

In the Leavers’ Ceremony at the end of your stay, you will receive a Course Certificate and an Academic Report from your English Skills teacher.

AFTERNOONS

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:46:21 UTC

On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, you will take part in sports and activities after lessons.

Sports on offer might include: football, tennis, basketball, squash, badminton, rounders, volleyball and cricket.
There are always some non-sport options available such art, drama, dance, fitness or recreational activities such as chess or origami.
Some activities, e.g. mountain-biking, may take place at specialist venues nearby.
For some activities, such as mountain-biking or swimming, there are limited places available so students are required to sign-up in advance. Priority is given to students who have not taken part in that activity yet at Bede’s.

Afternoon sports and activities are compulsory and all students must participate.

EVENINGS

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:48:11 UTC

Social Events take place in the evenings and are organised and supervised by Bede’s Activities Leaders.
They can be games, tournaments, knockouts, shows or trips to local recreational facilities for your entertainment and amusement.

They are designed to encourage you to mix with other students, make new friends and speak English in natural, real-life situations.

Social Events are compulsory and all students must participate.

EXCURSIONS

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 18:51:32 UTC

Excursions are visits to places of interest and are a great way for you to see more of England and learn something about the history and culture of this country. You will also have the chance for some free time and to do some shopping.

FREE TIME

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 19:04:28 UTC

You have some free time every day in the afternoon and evening after activities when you can relax with your friends.

You can also use the internet to contact your family and friends back home.

If you prefer to be active, you can borrow some sports equipment and organise a game of tennis, football or basketball with other students or with the staff.

LIFE IN THE UK

car_marietti — 2023-06-26 19:08:34 UTC

The UK is a safe country; however, you should be careful and take precaution when on excursions with your pocket money and valuables to avoid being the victim of crime.

In the UK, people drive on the left. Always look BOTH ways when crossing roads.

When you are in the UK, you are subject to UK laws.

The UK weather can be unpredictable, please be prepared for very hot and very wet days and always check the forecast!

If you have a headache or a sore throat, the Nurse or Welfare Manager is allowed to give you basic non-prescription medicines, for example, paracetamol, throat lozenges or cough syrup.

If you need to see a doctor, we will book an appointment for you, usually the same day or the next day.
