quarantine and settling-in programmes

Bright World and Cambridge Melchior College are joining forces in August and September 2020 to offer a safe and secure quarantine facility for our arriving boarding school students. If the UK government's 14 day quarantine rules are still in place then we are ready to help. Our programme has been carefully thought out to offer students a pleasant experience in safe and secure surroundings. We will be upholding Government Guidance as it is updated throughout the programme.

The staff at Cambridge Melchior College are committed to ensuring that the quarantine that we offer is safe and hygienic. We will put the following measures in place to ensure this:

• Ensuring that staff and students wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds regularly and especially before meal times and at regular intervals throughout the day. Hand sanitiser and tissues will be available throughout the college.
• Large, spacious classrooms are available for students and 2m markers will be in place to ensure appropriate spacing measures are in place.
• CMC staff will conduct daily temperature checks of all students.
• Social distanced activities will be organised and students will have access to the large gardens and outside spaces at the college.
• Students will be encouraged to wear masks.
• The college will arrange on-site health and medical assistance if required.
• Cambridge Melchior College has reserved a separate boarding house for isolation of unwell students if required
• The College will be operating thorough cleaning protocols in regards to kitchens, dining areas, classroom and dormitory surfaces, door handles, and toilets.
• Students will be accommodated in single ensuite rooms unless arriving with siblings from the same household and on the same flight.

The Cambridge Melchior College campus is located at Willingham House, set in beautiful landscaped gardens. The campus offers high quality teaching and residential facilities, providing an ideal, spacious and safe location for study and recreation. Willingham has a wide range of facilities including a library, Post Office, shops, doctor’s surgery and sports facilities, some of which are social distancing proof.

The college is proud of its high quality residential accommodation, which offers students well appointed s rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The spacious rooms at the campus are refurbished, homely, calm and welcoming with windows overlooking the garden, offering a great place to rejuvenate after a long journey and to settle in before the academic school year begins.

All students are supervised throughout their stay by an experienced team of managers, teachers, pastoral staff and residential supervisors. During the day, students are supported by teaching and/or activity staff. During the evenings, supervision will be carried out by the residential management staff..

For those students who need assistance and support in a specific subject or subjects, then they can opt for English support at time of booking and benefit from tuition from tutors qualified in English language.

The college caters for all dietary needs. Students eat together in the dining room or in the gardens when the weather allows. On excursions, a packed lunch is provided.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the centre
