At West London English School, we prioritise the safeguarding of our students, both inside and outside of the classroom, and we pride ourselves on our caring and supportive environment.
On the social programme, our staff ratio is on average 1:8, with our maximum being 1:10. In the classroom, the average is 1:12 with the maximum being 1:16.
Our staff are well-qualified and experienced, and have all been trained in child protection and safeguarding with police suitability checks in place as a condition of their employment.
There is on site supervision for all students from 8.30am-8.30pm. Outside of these hours, all students have access to the 24-hour emergency contact number. We have first-aid trained staff on site between 8.30am-8.30pm as well. We also provide details of local doctors’ surgeries and the local hospital if more specialist medical attention is required.
From the moment a student arrives, there is always a member of staff they can talk to. As part of their course, usually on the first day, all students under 18 receive a briefing on staying safe whilst at WLES. Students also have weekly meetings with the Welfare Officer, or their group leader if arriving with a group, to ensure any issues are solved as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We have a great deal of experience in working with young learners and can't wait to welcome our summer students from around the world each summer!
