Our Supervision Concept
13 to 17 year olds
Students aged 13–17 take part in a compulsory activity programme offering a wide variety of engaging options each day.
When staying in Southend, students will also enjoy a “Town Walk with Free Time.” For this activity, supervisors or group leaders accompany the students to and from town, and students then have some supervised free time while there.
We follow the official supervision ratios of:
1:15 for students aged 13–15
1:20 for students aged 16–17
Within the campus, students are expected to walk independently (a short 3-minute walk) from their accommodation to the canteen for meals and to their classrooms. To ensure safety and participation, students are not permitted to stay in their accommodation during the day.
Time to Talk
You will be in separate TTT (Time to Talk) groups of up to 25 children per group. In the lunchtime TTT you tell your supervisor what you want to do in the afternoon and the supervisor will put you in the respective sign-up list which will be checked when the programme starts. The same happens at the dinner time TTT for the evening event.
