FAQs
Is there a deadline for booking a place?
Places are based on a first come, first served basis and it's likely that they'll be taken by the end of October. Once places have been sold, we won't be accepting any additional children onto the course.
I live in London, will the course be too far from me?
Beechwood school is located in a very quiet but easily accessible area so you should be able to drive to the school within 45 minutes if you're based in West or North London.
Some parents choose to let their child stay with a family member who lives near to Watford, Harrow, Luton or Hertfordshire. This could be a great option if you have a relative living within those areas.
Is lunch provided?
We provide light snacks but students will need to bring a packed lunch and bottle of water with them each day. We recommend including enough food in your child's lunchbox so that they don't feel hungry during the day.
What kind of venue will the course be in?
The course will be held at the beautiful Beechwood Park School which is an independent school based in Markyate, St Albans. The school is located in a safe, secure and idyllic environment, surrounded by stunning greenery.
