Wellington School

Classrooms

 All the classrooms are located in the main campus and building area of the school at Wellington School. Most classrooms have interactive whiteboards or Smartboards and projectors as well as WiFi access. There is a maximum of 12 students in each General English class. Summer Intensive, Summer Academic Study and Academy MBA classes are smaller (6 for Intensive, 8 for Summer Academic Study and 10 for Academy MBA).

Dining Hall

The school has a bright and modern dining hall in the main campus. Students are expected to queue in an orderly manner for the meals.

We can cater for gluten or wheat free, celiac and vegetarian diets. It is important that any dietary requests are made known to us in advance of arrival.

Common Areas

Each boarding house has comfortable common rooms with entertainment and games available. There is also a large hall used for assemblies and sometimes for afternoon activities and evening entertainment.

Mobile Phones

Students can bring their mobile phones but must not use them in class or activities unless directed to. 

Shops

Nearest shops are available in Wellingotn Town. Students will be supervised when going to the local shops and are only permitted at the discretion of the summer School Management. No students can leave the premises unsupervised.

The Academy Office

The EC Academy office is located in the main building near the classrooms and is accessible to all students for all enquiries and information or help.

Swimming Pool

There is a heated indoor swimming pool on site for use when a life guard is present at scheduled times.

Laundry

On a specific day each week personal laundry will be collected and washed. Each student will be provided with a clear bag with a name tag. Laundry is returned the following day in the same washing bag and students will pick their bags up from the front entrance.

Cleaning

Communal areas including bathrooms are cleaned every day. Bedrooms have a deep clean prior to students’ arrival and will be deep cleaned once each week. The deep clean also includes a linen change. Students are encouraged to keep their rooms tidy and to use bins provided.

Safe

All student pocket money and travel documents will be stored in our school safe on arrival. Access will be given at set times to pocket money and all deposits and withdrawals will be recorded. It is vital that the student’s hand in any cash they have on site to be kept safe.

We cannot take responsibility for personal items such as laptops or mobile phones and any cash left unsecured.

Damage Deposit

£30 will be taken on arrival and returned on departure once damage checks are completed.

Keys

Bedrooms are not lockable at UK boarding schools so no keys are issued. The buildings are secured by an electronic wristband for each student that allows access to areas allowed.

Payphones

There are no payphones on campus.

Welfare and Medical

Each Boarding House has a House Parent who builds relationships with all the students in that House. They will be informing the students, waking them up each day, making sure they eat well and are happy and participating. The students can talk to their House Parents about any problems they may have. There will also be a UK state registered nurse visit regularly in case of minor medical issues. If there are significant medical needs we will transport the student to the nearest Doctor or Hospital. The Student/Parent/ Agent is responsible for any off site transport and medical costs in these cases.
