Your first day

A warm welcome

On your first morning, please come to the reception office at the school at 8.45 am.

When you arrive, we will explain your first day programme. You will also receive a welcome pack with information about your stay here. We may also ask to see your passport. Then you will have a written test and an interview to discuss your personal study programme, before you join your course.

You will also have a welcome meeting when we will show you the self-study facilities and give you a Lake School student card (please bring a photograph for this).

At the end of your first week, we will ask you for your feedback, but at any time you can discuss your course or accommodation with one of the school directors: Carmel, Susan or Lilly.
