The safety and well-being of our students is central to everything we do at English Study Camps by Wimbledon School of English.

We ensure student welfare with:

Caring and dedicated staff
A designated Welfare Manager at each centre
First aiders at each centre and on excursions

All students receive:

• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout their stay

• Snacks in their houses

• Options of vegetarian, halal, dairy-free, and gluten-free meals

• Packed lunches for excursion days

• The option to buy extra refreshments and snacks at an on-site Tuck Shop

British Student Ambassadors

Our British Student Ambassadors are part of the programme at Lord Wandsworth College, Hampshire. As members of the student body they study alongside our international students, giving them the opportunity to learn about British culture first hand from their peers.

Our ambassadors live on campus with our international students and participate in our Future Business Leaders course and all activities.

Last year we welcomed 31 different nationalities at Lord Wandsworth College, giving both British and international students the opportunity to make friends and learn about different cultures. This unique platform cultivates cultural exchange and brings greater international understanding to all participants.
