Summer SchoolHealth, Support & Wellbeing
The health and welfare of our students and staff will always be our number one priority.
St Edmund's College Ethos
St Edmund’s College is an historic school and over the years has developed a reputation for high quality academic learning and pastoral care. Joining an international summer school is an exciting time but travelling far from home and meeting new people can be a nervous or worrying time. Support and wellbeing are the wraparound services we offer to ensure all students feel fully supported to make the most of their time at St Edmund’s College.
St Edmund’s College Summer School embraces both of these aspects. We are aware that parents send their children abroad to widen their life experiences and give them a head start in life. At St Ed’s we embrace this, but also focus on caring for each child. Our pastoral team, under the leadership of Neil Kimsey, is carefully selected to nurture each child. This pastoral team will look after your child from their arrival to departure and will totally fulfil their role as House Parent
Our Staff
We complete background checks on everyone who works for us, including Safeguarding checks and past employment references. All our staff must complete Child Protection training.
Campus Security
Our campus is not open to the public. All students and staff must wear special lanyards containing ID cards with their names and photographs on them. Anyone found on campus without one is challenged immediately. We also have 24/7 CCTV in all public areas.
24 Hour Medical Care
There will be onsite medical care which will be staffed 24 hours a day by trained medical professionals. Our school health care professionals will:
- Administer medicines
- Ensure any minor illnesses are monitored and treated
- Deal with first aid as required
