Student welfare and safety are always our top priorities at Kings Young Leaners.

We understand and acknowledge the trust that you put in us and take our responsibility very seriously. When you send your child to the UK or to the USA to study, you need to be confident that everything is done to make sure they are protected and safe.

That is why we have specific policies and procedures in place for all junior students who attend our programmes.

Our locations have all been selected for their safe and secure environments, and we offer only the highest levels of supervision.

Safety policies

Covid 19 Safety

The health and wellbeing of our students, staff and partners is of the highest importance and Kings keep up to date with all the government rules and guidelines regarding covid safety.

​General safety policies

To ensure students are safe at all times, the following measures are in place:

  • Lessons are compulsory for all students under the age of 18.
  • At our City centres the homestay providers and residence supervisors are responsible for students at their accommodation, and ensure that curfews are followed every night. 
  • At the Residential Summer Centres House Parents or Night Supervisors monitor the halls of residence throughout the night time period.
  • Teachers take attendance registers at the start of every lesson and registers are taken on activities and excursions.
  • There is a designated Welfare Manager at each of our locations.
  • There are designated staff with first aid training at each centre.
  • Staff to student ratios are excellent.
  • Individual students at the Residential Summer Centres are allocated a staff member to act as their guardian during their stay. They will have a daily meeting throughout their stay.
  • Students are all issued with ID cards and wristbands with emergency contact information.
  • We have strict recruitment procedures and staff are hired subject to suitable references and background checks.
  • A 24-hour emergency phone service for students, staff and parents is in place.
  • We have a regularly reviewed child safeguarding policy.
  • Child safeguarding forms an integral part of staff training; all staff and group leaders are required to complete safeguarding training.

Contact information

Emergency Contact form

An Emergency Contact form must be completed prior to arrival by all students attending courses at our residential summer centres, students taking the Experience programme and also the Oxford Intensive Academic programme.

Phone numbers

We provide a 24-hour emergency number on confirmation of booking.

On arrival, students on Residential Summer Courses, Experience and the Oxford Intensive Academic programme are given a student card and a wristband to wear with the emergency contact number on.

Mobile phone numbers for students and their parents are recorded as part of the individual notes we hold on our student database.

SIM cards and phones

We strongly recommend that all students buy or pre-order a UK or USA SIM card or a SIM and phone package so that it is as easy as possible for Kings staff to maintain contact with them while they are with us.
