In tandem with LAL’s Child Safeguarding Policy, we are obliged to maintain the following policy for supervision.
All children aged under 12 must be under close supervision at all times by a responsible member of LAL staff, a nominated Group Leader or LAL approved & designated adult homestay household member. All such children must be provided with full information, issued verbally, with maps and instruction sheets equipped with telephone numbers and emergency procedures, given at induction. All such children must be made aware of all these rules, using the facility of translation where necessary.
All such children must be provided with full information, issued verbally, with maps and instruction sheets equipped with telephone numbers and emergency procedures, given at induction. Such children should always be supervised on programmed activities, and should always seek to travel to and from the venue with at least one other person aged 12 or older.
Where children are given free time at a particular external venue, they must be together in a group of at least three students, having been shown the student meeting point where at least one member of LAL staff attends.
Any child required to make long, arduous or taxing journeys should always be offered assistance with their travel arrangements. Any child of this age requesting, or demonstrating need of responsible adult supervision or accompaniment to and from homestay addresses, LAL classroom locations, or on activities must be provided with that supervision. Children of these ages should always be with their homestay host or in supervised accommodation by 21.30 if they are aged 12-13, or 22.00 if they are aged 14-15.
All such children must be provided with full information, issued verbally, with maps and instruction sheets equipped with telephone numbers and emergency procedures, given at induction. Young people of this age are required to use their own means to travel to and from homestay addresses, LAL classroom locations, or on activities.
However any requests for assistance are welcomed by LAL staff. Students should always be with their homestay host or in supervised accommodation by 22.30.
LAL staff will always advise all students of:
I’m very glad of this school and I love this city. First day, I met many new people who are very friendly. I have only one teacher, but in the corridor, I met many other teachers who talked with me and it was nice. My teacher Heilen is very good teacher.
Every time she helps us with everything. My classmates are friendly and with a positive mood. Every other people in LAL are very kind and I’m very grateful for everything here.
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 couldn’t be more glad to have been studying here in LAL London for the past 3 months. Firstly, because London is my favourite place in the world, and because LAL is my favourite English school – and that’s why it’s my third time here! The lessons are amazing. I’ve learned so much with my teacher James and all my classmates. And more than grammar, I can understand more about people and cultures. Each class is an adventure that takes us to different subjects, cultures, worlds. In each class we share a little bit of us, and that’s what makes this experience so fantastic.
Studying in this charming town of Twickenham, I have learnt to be more confident as an English student and as a person.This is the most important experience of my life. Thank you, LAL, for being part of it!
I have been here for almost six months and it was the best experience of my life, because I’ve met a lot of people and from different countries. They are very friendly and lovely, not just the students but the staff and teachers as well.
It was an amazing trip in LAL School. Course and lessons 10/10. Teacher Casey was a very good teacher. Accommodation – Thank you for cleaning all day!
The English courses and teachers were funny. All staff is very kind, smiled and prepared to help. I was satisfied and felt like at home. The food in lunch was really tasty.
With all safety measures in place, we can’t wait to have you back!
