for Summer 2022
Obviously our lives have changed enormously since March 2020 when the Coronavirus started affecting people in Europe significantly. The safety of our students and staff is always our main concern and we will be taking measures to ensure that we do all we can to ensure this and follow UK government and industry advice for schools.
The UK has now opened up society for the most part and there are very few restrictions in place. Loxdale adopts arrangements as dictated to by government policy. This means that, at the moment we don’t have any restrictions in place.
We only have two requests of students:
1. If they feel ill, they take a lateral flow test (provided by Loxdale), and/or wear a mask so they don’t pass it on to anyone else.
2. That they regularly wash their hands and use antibacterial hand gel if they are not well.
Insurance
If your country still has travel restrictions in place, please make sure that your travel insurance covers COVID-19 related costs like flight cancellations before leaving your country.
Either your insurance or you are responsible for the extra cost of accommodation, flights, meals etc. if you have to stay in the UK longer than planned because of mandatory self-isolation.
Future?
If a new variant develops or the situation gets worse again, Loxdale will look at amending our school policy to include ways of protecting our students, staff and hosts. This may include staggered start times and 2-class Bubbles’, periods of online teaching or English Plus class restrictions.
Please be aware that I and my staff are always here to help and support you throughout your stay, by phone, online and in person. I hope that you realise that we will do our best to give you the best possible experience in the UK and will only change our procedures if we have to to protect the health of our students, staff or hosts.
Please e-mail and ask any questions you may have, I’m always happy to help.
With best wishes
Anna
