Is the school open for face-to-face classes?

Yes, Anglo-Continental is open for face-to-face classes.

Will I need to quarantine and have a PCR test on arrival in England?

You do not need to take any COVID-19 tests or quarantine on arrival in England, irrespective of your vaccination status.  There is also no need to complete a Passenger Locator form.

For the latest information, visit the government website:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19

What is the school’s current Covid policy?

As the school gets busier it is important that all staff and students are aware of Anglo-Continental’s policy on COVID-19.  Throughout the pandemic we have adhered strictly to government policy and during periods put in our own even stricter procedures.  We are still following government advice and ask that staff and students also do so.  Full guidance  can be found here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/people-with-symptoms-of-a-respiratory-infection-including-covid-19

Please be aware that there is no requirement to wear masks in public spaces although we do have masks available and encourage their use.  There is also no legal requirement to isolate after a positive test result.  We do ask that should any staff member or student test positive, they remain away from the school for a period of five days after which they may return to school providing all symptoms have gone.

Children and young people (aged 18 years and under) who have symptoms of a respiratory infection, including COVID-19

Respiratory infections are common in children and young people, particularly during the winter months.  Symptoms can be caused by several respiratory infections including the common cold, COVID-19 and RSV.

For most children and young people, these illnesses will not be serious, and they will soon recover following rest and plenty of fluids.  Very few children and young people with respiratory infections become seriously unwell.  This is also true for children and young people with long-term conditions.

Attending education is hugely important for children and young people’s health and their future.

When children and young people with symptoms should stay at home and when they can return to education

Children and young people with mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or slight cough, who are otherwise well, can continue to attend their education setting.

Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people, where they can.  They can go back to school, college or childcare, and resume normal activities when they no longer have a high temperature and they are well enough to attend.

All children and young people with respiratory symptoms should be encouraged to cover their mouth and nose with a disposable tissue when coughing and/or sneezing and to wash their hands after using or disposing of tissues.

Anglo-Continental has a stock of masks, COVID tests and hand-sanitiser available so please ask at Reception should you require any.  Please be assured we are constantly monitoring the situation and the health and safety of our students and staff is a priority.

If you would like to book International Student Travel Insurance through Anglo-Continental please contact us.  For further details of the insurance policy click here.   Taking out your travel insurance at the time of booking your course is a really good idea as cover for pre-departure cancellation starts from the policy issue date.  This means you’ll have cover to recoup your costs if you have to cancel your course for an insured reason such as illness or serious accident preventing you from travelling.

• The Guard.me insurance is available for students under the age of 70.
• Once arranged, the insurance is non-refundable – unless cancelled within 14 days from cover being requested (known as the cooling-off period).
• The premium is charged per day rather than per week.  The cost is currently £ 1 per day.

To identify our staff, your son/daughter should look for the Anglo-Continental sign.

It is our aim to transfer your son/daughter to Bournemouth as soon as possible. Students can expect to depart from the airport within one hour of meeting our representative. However, please take into account the following: flights may be delayed, late release of luggage, UK Border Control, Customs Control and heavy road traffic. There may therefore be a wait of more than one hour for the next coach departure during which time they will be fully supervised.

If you have requested the check-in service, your son/ daughter will be escorted to the check-in and handed over to a member of the airline staff.

Anglo-Continental Transfer Conditions

Luggage allowance – airlines

Please note that airlines apply different luggage restrictions (i.e. size, weight, contents and number of items). We advise you to check with the airline before your son/ daughter travels.

Luggage allowance – car and coach transfers

Your son/daughter’s free allowance is one piece of luggage of a standard size and shape weighing not more than 23kg, plus one item of hand luggage of not more than 10kg.

If your son/daughter’s luggage does not conform with the above, an additional charge may have to be made. It is important that you advise us in advance if there is excess baggage so we can make appropriate arrangements, otherwise you may find that the excess luggage cannot travel with your son/daughter and there may be additional charges.

Young Learners travelling alone

If your son/daughter is under 16 years of age and is travelling without an adult, the transfer service and check-in service will automatically be reserved and invoiced. We advise you to check
with the airline for rules and regulations regarding this. You will be responsible for any unaccompanied child airline service charges. A member of our team will take your child to the check-in counter and check him/her onto the flight and accompany him/her to security.

Payment

Payment for transfers must be made before the date of provision of the service. Any additional charges, such as delayed arrival, must be paid on the first day of school.

Cancellation

Notice of cancellation or change of a transfer must be received by the school before 12.00 hours (British Time) on the Wednesday prior to the scheduled day of arrival or departure. If such notice is not received within the period stipulated, we incur obligations to the transport companies and therefore the full charge is due.

Transfers on British public holidays

Liability and insurance

We cannot accept responsibility for any delay in scheduled services, or if any service cannot be provided as specified, or for any loss, damage or injury to students or their property during travel.
