quarantine and settling-in programmes

Bright World and Cambridge Melchior College are joining forces to offer a safe and secure quarantine facility for our arriving boarding school students. The programme is available exclusively to Bright World Guardianships students. Our programme has been carefully thought out to offer students a pleasant experience in safe and secure surroundings.

The Cambridge Melchior College campus is located at Willingham House, set in beautifully landscaped gardens. The campus offers high-quality teaching and residential facilities, providing an ideal, spacious, and safe location for study and recreation.

The college is proud of its residential accommodation, which offers students well-appointed single 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.

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 staff at both Cambridge Melchior College and Kings Bournemouth 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 (Cambridge only).
• Staff will conduct daily temperature checks of all students.
• Socially distanced activities will be organised and Cambridge students will have access to the large gardens and outside spaces at the college. In Bournemouth supervised walks will be arranged so students can get fresh air and exercise.
• Students will be encouraged to wear masks when not in their rooms.
• Both Colleges will arrange on-site health and medical assistance if required.
• Both Colleges 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 at both locations.
