If students are unable to attend school for any reason they should telephone the office as early as possible to notify them of their absence. If they are unable to telephone or email they should speak to the office as soon as they return to school.

Anti-social behaviour by students toward staff, students or homestay providers is not accepted and at the discretion of the school may result in expulsion without refund. This could include any form of aggressive or abusive behaviour, inappropriate conduct, religious extremism, racial/homophobic behaviour or the influence of drink/drugs.

Classes may include students on other programmes, however the majority of the students in the class are aged 50 years or over. Some excursions and social evenings are also shared with other adult students.

Homestay/residence accommodation fees are payable by the week. Extra nights may be accepted by prior arrangement at an extra fee. We request students arrive Saturday or Sunday and depart Saturday. Sunday departures are only accepted by prior arrangement and may incur an extra fee in addition to any extra nights payable.

If a student wishes to change or cancel their homestay after arrival, they must have a valid reason i.e. that the homestay has not met the standards set out in our guidelines. Students must speak to Student Services first to give a full account of the issue and if it is felt that it a small problem or misunderstanding which can be resolved without moving the student then the school reserves the right to do so. However, in the case where it can be demonstrated that the accommodation is not acceptable then the school will move the student. In all other cases, if students wish to move or cancel they will be required to give a notice period of one week, with payment for this period.

Included in the price of the residence is a light continental breakfast (high season only), towels & linen (not including beach towels), weekly room cleaning. Students can use the communal kitchen in the evenings and must clear up after themselves. Students may also use the laundry room at specified times for a small fee.

Transfers to the residence are not provided. Students will be given details of how to access the residence in advance, however their room may not be ready until after 15:00. Bags can be left in the storeroom prior to check-in.

There may be times when there are children staying in the residence, when accompanied by their parents.

St Brelade’s College provides a public bus pass for students staying in homestay accommodation (unless within walking distance of the study centre). The location of the bus stops is normally around 5 to 10 minutes walk from the homestay but in some cases students may have to walk for up to 20 minutes to the location of the bus stop. In most cases students should expect to spend around 30 minutes on the bus, although in some cases the scheduled journey time may be up to 1 hour. 

Peterborough House adult residence is a 5-10 minute walk from the study centre.

Prior to arrival, all students are requested to inform the school if they have any specific allergies, are taking any medication or require any special medical treatment. This includes special educational learning needs.

In the event of a healthcare emergency, staff will carry out basic First Aid on students or will seek emergency medical aid.

If a student tests positive for Covid-19 it may still be necessary to stay at home for a period of time until they feel better. We advise that all students have travel insurance in place to cover them, in the event that they test positive either before travel or whilst in Jersey and cannot participate in the course.

Students are advised that Jersey does not offer free emergency medical treatment for many countries and they may be required to pay for any medical treatment. For more information on which countries Jersey does have reciprocal healthcare agreements with, go to www.gov.je For non-urgent medical problems, an appointment with a doctor may be required, and students will be expected to pay the doctors fees (around £80).

St Brelade’s College has some wheelchair accessible areas and facilities, however some aspects of the programme e.g. transportation may require extra organisation. We recommend students requiring wheelchair access contact us to discuss their needs before booking.

We strongly advise students to take out insurance at the time of booking the trip. This should ensure cover if the student needs to cancel the course before departure or during their stay due to factors such as illness (e.g. Covid-19), emergency medical expenses, travel costs and personal belongings etc. Special insurance for language course students can be purchased from some insurance providers.

St Brelade’s College will attempt to resolve any complaints quickly and fairly. In such an event, students should explain their cause for complaint as soon as is practicably possible to the management. Where it can be proven that the grounds for complaint are just, the school will attempt to rectify the problem immediately.
