Student Welfare and Pastoral Care at our summer camp
At Exsportise Summer Schools, the welfare of our students is always our number one priority. We offer one of the most generous staff-to-student ratios available and take the safeguarding of our students extremely seriously.
Our goal is to ensure the safety, happiness and well-being of all of our students through an exceptional learning experience, and with this in mind, we provide:
Very high supervision levels with an overall on-site staff-to-student ratio of one staff member to four students
A designated House Parent for each house, with staff bedrooms spread around the boarding houses for help and support
Most staff are residential and live on-site 24 hours a day
Experienced and professional staff dedicated to student welfare and enjoyment
On-site medical officers, multiple first aiders, medical treatment facilities and hospitals nearby
Police checks and Child Protection training for all of our staff
Closed campuses – students are not allowed to leave the site unaccompanied at any time
A fully-accompanied travel and transfer service from and to all major London airports and the Eurostar at London St Pancras.

Injury, Illness and Medication
We are proud to be recognised by the British Council as an industry leader for "5-star" medical care, by going above and beyond for our students' safety.
Each of our camps features a dedicated Medical Bay staffed by two on-site Medical Officers and numerous senior pastoral staff qualified in First Aid and trained to administer medication. This guarantees that if a student needs their daily medication or suffers an injury or health issue, there are always staff available to assist them promptly in a professional manner. To ensure the highest level of care for our students, parents must complete our Medical and Consent forms prior to camp.

Diet, Nutrition and Hydration
Meals at camp are nutritionally balanced and designed for young athletes and active young people. There are a variety of meal options to choose from, including a vegetarian option. We monitor each student to ensure they are eating and drinking enough during mealtimes. Water is always available during sports sessions, and our coaches ensure players regularly rehydrate. We also talk to the students about the importance of nutrition and hydration in workshops and throughout their time at camp.
We can cater for most dietary requirements when notified in advance. For more information, please visit our Food on Camp page.
