Code of Behaviour

We have compiled guidelines and a Code of Behaviour to ensure that the experience of all our students is a positive one.

Our Explore London Experience staff are also provided with guidelines clearly setting out their responsibilities and obligations.  They are required to report to the Course Director any refusal to comply with the Code of Behaviour which may affect any student’s safety or enjoyment.

• Attendance at lessons is compulsory
• Participation in all excursions is compulsory
• Teachers, activity staff, group leaders and other students should be treated with respect at all times
• Bullying (i.e. aggressive or threatening behaviour towards other students, whether verbal or physical) will not be tolerated under any circumstances
• Students must give their mobile (cell) phone numbers to the Excel English staff on arrival
• Mobile phones must be switched off during class time
• Smoking is not permitted in any of the Explore London Experience buildings or in any other public buildings or places
• Bedrooms should be kept tidy
• Room keys are the responsibility of the student and if lost the cost of replacement will be charged to the student
• Excel English does not accept any responsibility for the loss, damage or theft of any personal belongings, including money, not in its direct care
• Chewing gum is not permitted in the residence or college
• Food and drink may not be consumed in the classrooms or bedrooms
• Students causing accidental or deliberate damage to buildings or equipment will be charged the repair or replacement cost in full
• If we are unable to identify the person who has caused damage in a communal area, the cost of the damage will be split between all users of that area
• Students must be careful not to endanger themselves or others in the residence or at the college or on outside excursions.  Students must not push each other on the stairs or slide down banisters
• Fire escapes, fire equipment and fire alarms are for emergency use only.  They must not be used at any other time.  It is illegal to set off fire alarms unnecessarily in the UK and strictly forbidden to misuse fire extinguishers.  Any incidents involving false alarms or interference with fire safety equipment will be taken very seriously and may lead to a heavy fine and the student(s) involved being sent home
• Students are housed in single sex apartments.  Students may not visit friends of the opposite sex in their apartment
• Students found indulging in sexual activity will be required to leave the course immediately
• Students may not leave the residence or the college under any circumstances unless they are on organised visits and excursions, accompanied by members of Excel English staff. If a student leaves the premises without a member of staff, he / she will be sent home
• Students MUST pay for anything obtained in a shop, café, etc.  Any student caught stealing will be required to leave the programme immediately and the police will be informed. Further action by the police will be at their discretion
• If a student is found to have in his/her possession or in his/her room, any alcohol, illegal drug or other substance prohibited by the law, the police will be informed and the student will be required to leave the programme immediately.  Further action by the police will be at their discretion
• If a student is sent home for any reason no refund of fees will be made and all fines and all costs including airline tickets will be charged to the parents or representative of the student concerned.
