When a student arrives, an SBC staff member wearing a bright yellow t-shirt will be waiting to greet her/him and accompany them to our Welcome Club. At our Airport Welcome Club, she/he will have the chance to meet other students arriving, have some light refreshments and relax. After a little rest, students will be accompanied by students and SBC staff to board the coach and be taken directly to the school in a private coach.
The Shared Transfer Service can be used by students using the following flight and train times:
Flight lands on arrival day: 06:00-17:00
Flight take-off time on departure day: 08:00-18:00
The times outlined above also apply to students arriving and departing from Kings Cross St. Pancras train station.
If you book a flight outside of these times or to/from another UK airport, we can look at sending a staff member in a taxi to collect or drop off your child, but it will cost more than the Shared Transfer Service. Quotes are available upon request.
If you book a train or flight outside of these times or from another London airport, please contact your Admissions Manager for a private taxi quote. Please note this will cost more than our Shared Transfer Service from Heathrow, Kings Cross St. Pancras (& Gatwick for Earlscliffe students)
Important:
Flights must be booked on the arrival and departure dates so that all students can arrive and depart the course at the correct times.
With there being a wide range of content, Sustainable Futures will certainly push students, but our teachers are supported in adapting materials and modifying the level of challenge.
To get the most out of this course, a level of B1 or higher is necessary.
To mark the end of the program each student receives a certificate of completion.
A selection of SBC handouts created by our own academic team are distributed to students.
Students need their own pens to take part in lesson; however, notebooks and folders are provided.
Despite the fact that there is no pre reading necessary for any of our programs, it would be helpful for students to continue improving their English in order to feel more prepared.
Life time memories to cherish, I highly recommend it.
