Guardianship
One of the most important services we can build into a standard
package is Guardianship. This is made up of several elements and
is taylor made in each case. Some examples would include:
- Attending School Meetings
- Advising and helping with selection of schools and entry procedures
- Assisting with choice of subjects to take at GCSE or Advanced
level
- Providing or finding suitable additional tuition
- Accompanying Students to London or other places of interest
*House Rules
Note that whilst we are as easy going as possible, we do stick quite
strictly (for the sake of all our guests) to 'house rules'. Most
residents find these quite agreeable and usually contribute to their
general format. As these are constantly reviewed, in accordance
with parents wishes, etc. they are not stated here. Some examples
from the current set are:
- No phone calls after 9:30 PM
- Own rooms by 9:30 except Fridays, Saturdays and some holidays
- No TV after 9:00 (this is varied according to parent's wishes)
- Homework gets priority ..... sorry !
