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.
