It is the policy of LAL to accept students who fall within the age range of the courses provided in our brochure and other promotional materials. The student should have reached the required age by the beginning of the course.
For students who are younger or older than the age range of the course, the following action is taken into consideration before accepting the student:
Child Safeguarding is of paramount importance to LAL and adherence to LAL’s Child Safeguarding policy is mandatory for all staff. All staff will be made aware of students who do not fall within the age range and, where necessary, students will be placed in accommodation and classrooms which are suitable for their age range. Students who are within the age range will be consulted as to the effect on their stay at our schools.
Age sensitive activities will be monitored and where deemed unsuitable, we will provide an alternative.
A disclaimer will be sent to the third party provider or the parent/legal guardian of direct students for them to sign and send back prior to the arrival of the student
An email is sent to all third party providers or the parents/legal guardians for direct students, stating that LAL reserves the right to accept students outside its published age range.
Students under the age of 12 will be supervised either by the student’s group leader or by an LAL member of staff during free time while on excursions
Any student who is over 17 years of age is accepted on the basis that they adhere to all the rules and regulations of the school and its provider. The student will be treated as if he or she is under 18. Any action by said student which is deemed legal in the UK for someone 18 or over which is against the rules of the school will result in disciplinary action, including immediate repatriation.
I thank all the staff of LAL School for my language stay in Cape Town. Teachers are very good and school facilities such as internet connection, activities and the food are satisfactory.
I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me. I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.
Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed. I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.
Thank you for all. I really improved my English and I met a lot of amazing people. The room was perfect!
It could be in Portuguese, but I preferred to challenge myself and write my testimonial in English. I had Intensive English and it was four lovely weeks in LAL School. It was really good for me to interact with teachers and other schoolmates. My host mother, Bev and her mom were the best people that I met in Cape Town. I really felt at home. I will miss our conversation. Bev was a really mother for me . I have to say thanks for that.
I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.
Cape Town is a lovely place, I really enjoy it. The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.
