Will guardian meet my child at the airport?<\/div>
We will always make sure that arrival arrangements are in place and your child is met by either one of our representatives, drivers, or a school staff member. You will know exactly who is meeting your child, and where they will be waiting for them. Your guardian will make sure that your child is safely taken to the school, and any help that is required on the first day is provided.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
How will guardian help my child to settle?<\/div>
We know that the first day at school is often very emotional and significant for both children and parents. The support given on that first day can have a substantial impact on a child’s well-being. We always make sure children are met at the airport, safely taken to the school, shown around, and provided with help in settling into their school routine and being introduced to their new friends. School house staff will be on hand to provide help and support, but since they have hundreds of other new children to deal with, we make sure that any questions are answered in advance. Over the course of the first week, we stay in contact with the school daily to ensure that everything is going well and that the child is settling in without difficulty.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”At school” tab_id=”1486216928582-d26ca75b-9e55″]
What will the guardian be doing for my child while they are at school?<\/div>
With many years of experience working with UK schools and universities, English Guardian is perfectly placed to ensure your child\u2019s needs are fully supported and their progress closely monitored. Your child\u2019s guardian will be in touch with the school regularly to make sure that any questions your child may have are answered and that the school is happy with the progress he or she is making. Your guardian will provide academic and pastoral support, answer school questions, fill in school forms, organize travel arrangements, and attend to anything else that may be required.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
How often will I hear back from the guardian and how will they contact me?<\/div>
Your guardian will be in touch regularly to discuss holiday and weekend arrangements, report on academic progress, and get your permission for activities organised by the school. Your guardian will also be in touch in case of emergencies, so it is essential that they have your correct email address and a mobile phone number, including temporary contacts, in case you are away. It is your responsibility to provide us with correct contact details at all times.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Will guardian help my child with the homework, exam preparation and other academic related issues? <\/div>
The academic aspect of guardianship offers regular contact between the guardian, student, parents, and school tutor, providing academic updates and relaying any concerns that your child’s teachers might have back to you. Your guardian will also ensure that the student is putting enough effort into classwork and delivering homework on time and according to requirements. They will also ensure that the student is provided with additional subject help, support with homework, revision, and exam preparation. Depending on the package you choose, we can also attend parent evenings, prepare detailed reports for you, and provide regular (normally every half-term) school reports. Additional services include organising additional tuition with highly experienced tutors, either by Skype or face-to-face, and advice on further school\/university choices, as well as support in preparing university applications.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Travel” tab_id=”1496161772826-898ba67a-b644″]
Who will be driving my child when they need to go to the airport and other places outside school?<\/div>
All of your child\u2019s transport (airport transfers, transport to the host family, school pick-ups, etc.) will be organized in advance.

How do you organise travel for unaccompanied minors?<\/div>
We can organize airport transfers for unaccompanied minors in accordance with airline requirements. The driver\u2019s details (including ID number) will be provided in advance for pick-ups. The driver will help the child with check-in and will stay at the airport until the flight departs.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Will you help if the flight is delayed, or if my child misses it?<\/div>
