Our ‘Team in Pink’!

Great excursions

The London Eye

YOUR STAFFORD HOUSE

We have a fresh approach for students who choose to study on our wide range of courses and

options with exciting on-site activities and well planned, interactive excursion lessons and

trips.

We use major excursion destinations such as London, Cambridge and Oxford as a ‘classroom’

where students are exposed to a wealth of history and culture through walking tours and visits

to museums, colleges, cathedrals and other attractions.

Our carefully planned guided tours enable our students to visit famous landmarks and learn

about the location and history, as well as experiencing daily life in the city.

We have developed our own unique information pack and educational materials to be used

on these excursions, which students are able to take home with them.

Our centres and locations have all been selected for their safe and secure environments,

and we offer high levels of supervision. We understand that you trust us to take care of your

students and we take our responsibility very seriously. For this reason, we have rules and

procedures in place for all our young students to ensure their safety and well-being, which of

course is our top priority.

In addition, our ‘team in pink’ – our Student Welfare Officers, are at each centre, to ensure that

all students have someone to look after them and to listen to them if they have any questions

or need advice or support at any time.

We are determined to provide the best possible experience for our students. From the moment

they arrive and are greeted at the arrivals hall, we are there to guide and support them every

step of the way to the moment we wave them goodbye.

A variety of fun and exciting activities are organised by our teachers and activity staff,

including sports, arts and crafts, drama, dance, games and competitions, quizzes, talent

shows and discos.

On Classic PLUS courses, students will also receive specialist tuition/coaching in their chosen

activity.

We also offer more specialised programmes, taught by specialist tutors and/or coaches. They

include Art and Design and Drama courses, Arsenal Soccer Schools, Saracens School

of Rugby, STEM & Coding, Leadership courses, and Academic courses.

A wide range of exciting activities

Our schools have always been a safe haven for students and we have highly developed

contingency plans in place in the unlikely event of an emergency. Our staff are fully trained

in these procedures so students can always feel they are in safe hands whilst in the care of

Stafford House.

An exclusive programme of excursions to historical, cultural and fun destinations is offered,

linked to motivating lessons preparing the students for visits to many of the UK and USA’s

most famous landmarks.

Destinations include Cambridge, Canterbury, Windsor, Brighton, Oxford and London, as well

as many other interesting locations, depending on which centre students attend.

Further optional excursions (at extra cost) are available, often unique to each location, and

can be booked in advance. Examples include Disneyworld and Universal Studios in California,

Thorpe Park near London, musicals, and weekends in London, New York, Paris or Edinburgh.
