There may be additional reasons for one-off school visits; academic or disciplinary concerns may have arisen, or there might be a crucial meeting regarding subject choices or university applications. Whatever the reason, we are on call to visit the school when required.
Host families provide accommodation for students predominantly for exeat weekends, half-terms or in the case of any emergencies (e.g., illness or other emergencies necessitating a leave of absence from school)
With the advent of the internet, communication has never been easier; however, when students find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings in a new country, a regular weekly catch-up with a friendly face can be very reassuring. Likewise, if there have been academic, social or disciplinary concerns a weekly catch-up can help monitor the situation and are supported by House Parents.
Alderwood Guardians will translate all important communication from the school (term dates, school trips, communication from teachers/house parents etc). Should you require an additional full translation of a certain document (school report, student handbook, school newspaper), the service is available at a rate of £42 per page.

At Alderwood Guardians we understand the importance of creating memories that go beyond the classroom, allowing students to explore and engage in new experiences. Our dedicated team can assist in booking venues, arranging tickets, coordinating transportation, and planning events both within and outside the boarding school premises. We also understand that birthdays are a time for celebration and let’s be honest, who doesn’t enjoy a thoughtful present on their birthday!
Boarding school provides students with the chance to actively participate in a wide range of activities, including sports teams, school plays, and orchestras, fostering a sense of inclusivity and engagement. These events also offer students the unique opportunity to showcase their talents and skills in front of an audience. There is no better encouragement for a younger student than seeing a friendly face before, during and after the event, which is why we will always be available to attend events and even send videos to parents.
