Key Points
From wake up to bed time our staff monitor our students' progress, integration with their fellow students and well-being, making sure they are settled in, making new friends, and speaking English.
There is a staff student ration of 1:7 (Bucky Kids 1:5) at each Bucksmore Centre and a strong management team to look after all aspects of the programme.
The Centre Manager looks after all areas of the Centre and in particular how our students are settling in and integrating with the other international students. Bedroom inspections, daily student meetings, and constant communication with the staff ensures that our Centre Managers know what is happening in their Centres at all times.
The Director of Studies (DoS) looks after the English Language Programme. The DoS knows every student's English level and is constantly monitoring how they are performing in their lessons. The DoS makes sure that there is a positive learning dynamic in each class and that all students are involved at all times.
The Activity Manager looks after the afternoon and evening activities and the excursions. Our activities are designed to be totally involving and interactive for the students and the Activity Manager monitors each activity very carefully, making sure each student gets the maximum benefit.
The Counsellors wake the students up, put them to bed, teach them English, supervise their meals, guide them on excursions and trips and motivate them during activities. They also act as role models and are constantly on hand to listen and help our students at all times. The Counsellors speak English to the students all day.
