Essential Course Information:
We MUST receive bookings at least 4 weeks before arrival. The summer is very busy in the UK and it takes longer to find a host family with a room available.
All accommodation is with host families only. It is not a residential camp.
Hastings is a small town, so it is harder to place students with special needs or dietary requirements than it is at the London school. Host families do not provide halal food.
Please be honest about smoking. Most families do not smoke. Most permit smoking outside but NOT INSIDE.
Host families are not usually within walking distance of the school. They will be situated on bus routes.
The journey to school will take up to 30 minutes
Bus passes currently cost around £9 per week
British people love pets. Most families have pets and they live inside the house.
Group leaders from agencies will be expected to assist with the TAP - accompanying activities, excursions etc.
Host families are booked from Saturday to Saturday. Students cannot arrive any other day of the week.
Airport transfers included in the TAP price are for Saturday arrivals only and for Heathrow and Gatwick airports only.
Airport transfers are between 12:00 and 16:00. Arrivals outside those times will have to pay an extra fee
Please allow 90 minutes between arrival and pickup. The driver will have a Shane Global sign and the student's name. If the student arrives before the driver they must go to the Information Desk and WAIT THERE. Do not leave the airport. Do not phone the emergency number until 90 minutes have passed.
* Dates and features may vary. See fees for details
