How do you keep students safe on an Exsportise Summer Camp?
At Exsportise, staff are available 24/7 to support students with anything they may need, as student safety remains our top priority and has been throughout our 35+ years of experience running summer camps.
We maintain a high staff-to-student ratio throughout the summer, with one staff member for every four students, which is an industry-leading standard for summer camps in the UK. At Oundle School, our dedicated House parents oversee the daily care and well-being of every student. They are the first point of contact for any child who may feel unsettled or in need of support, providing a familiar and reassuring presence throughout camp life. Whether in the boarding house, on the sports field, or in the classroom, their priority is to ensure students feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Our students are further supported by on-site Medical officers and a specialist Welfare Manager, who will be the main point of contact for families with any issues or concerns.
All Exsportise staff are trained in Safeguarding, and many are also trained in providing first aid, with experience working with students throughout the year. We take pride in delivering exceptional care and support to all of our students. In recognition, we have achieved a British Council area of strength in ‘care of students’ and ‘safeguarding under 18s’, and they have praised that we offer 5-star Medical care, which goes above and beyond the requirements! In light of this, we are recognised as one of the best UK summer camps for student welfare.
