What if the student becomes home sick?
We understand that some students are homesick when they first arrive in England. Ardmore recommends that parents discourage their student from calling home too often at this time and try to persuade them to speak to someone at the Centre. Individual students will be looked after by the Senior Welfare Leader/Head of Pastoral Care – who will assist the student to settle in, introduce them to other students and answer any questions they may have. Senior Welfare Leader/Head of Pastoral Care will monitor the student and generally take care of them. If students are part of a group, the group leader will assume these duties. If the student cannot overcome their homesickness and wants to return home, we will assist them in any way we can to make the experience less traumatic.
