Protection > from Personal Accident & Travel Insurance

Certainty in an uncertain world
Vaccines have the power to dramatically change the Covid-19 situation in a relatively short amount of time. There is uncertainty, and that is why we are taking every care to protect the financial investment of every parent. We remain, however, hopeful that the magic of summer school will be possible this year.

Read how More Than English refunded parents last year
There is a vaccine! People in Europe and beyond are already starting to receive the new Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. However, we understand that every person and every family is affected by Covid-19 in a slightly different way. Some people worry most about medical risks. Some people worry most about jobs and the economy. Every person has different emotions about and experiences of the pandemic and that is why More Than English is offering a 100% full money back guarantee for any reason until 20th May 2021.
A full refund for any reason until 20th May 2021
Let’s make it easy
Book with confidence
If you want to make a summer school booking you can book with confidence.
A £300 deposit will secure your booking.
If you decide on or before 20th May 2021 that you want to cancel, More Than English will refund all the money you have paid (deposit or full amount) within 14 days.
Reserve your child’s place with your education agency. Then, by the 20th May you will know more about your business or your job. You will know if it is possible to get a vaccine in your country. By 20th May you will be in a better position to make your final decision about summer school.
Will I get a refund after 20th May 2021?
On or after 21th May 2021 More Than English will still refund all of the money you paid if Covid-19 laws in your country or in England mean that your child cannot travel to the UK to participate in the course you have booked, for example:
If your child tests positive for Covid-19
If the UK government says that visitors to the UK must quarantine on arrival
More Than English includes Personal Accident & Travel Insurance for every student. In terms of Covid-19, the policy does provide:
Medical: Covid-19 medical insurance (included)
Medical: Covid-19 Supplementary Travel and Accommodation Expenses insurance (included)
The policy provides cover for cancellation or curtailment in some situations, but not in relation to Covid-19. Please contact info@morethanenglish.co.uk if you would like to receive a copy of the insurance policy, or if you would like to discuss in detail what the insurance policy covers and does not cover.
A team you can trust
Claire Norwood & David Meddows: owners of More Than English
In 2020 More Than English cancelled summer school because of Covid-19. We gave parents two choices: (1) full refund or (2) postponement. Some parents chose to postpone and their children are already booked for 2021. Some parents chose a full refund and we refunded all the money they paid.
Please feel free to contact the team at More Than English: we are ready to answer all of your questions so that you can book your child’s place on summer school 2021 with confidence.
Summer school is almost here and we can’t wait to meet you! To help you get ready, here is a useful checklist of things to pack in your suitcase:
Shoulder bag
When you go to the airport and fly to England, it’s a good idea to wear a shoulder bag containing your most important items:
Passport
Boarding card
Any special medicine that is very important for you
Also in your shoulder bag:
Insurance summary document from More Than English
Copy of “Parental Consent Form” signed by parents
For students outside the EU only – “Official Letter of Invitation” from More Than English
(Ask your agent for these documents, which are part of the More Than English “Pre-Departure Pack”)
Bring a small shoulder bag
Smaller suitcases are easier to carry
Try to find a suitcase that is lightweight and not too big
We suggest:
Main suitcase: lightweight design 65cm x 40cm x 20cm
Optional extra: hand luggage: x1 small suitcase 40cm x 30cm x 15cm
*Always check size limits for luggage with your airline
Clothes
We offer a free laundry service every week. However, sometimes it rains in England (!) so it is good to bring enough clothes for at least 9 or 10 days!
Don’t forget your swimming costume!
Important clothing items to bring:
Swimming costume (we have a great swimming pool on campus)
Light summer coat
Thin jumpers / sweaters
Sports clothes
Sports shoes
A pair of flip flops
Towel
One smart outfit for special events
A sun hat and sunglasses
We provide pillows, duvets and sheets – so don’t bring these!
Footballers should bring shin pads.
Performing Arts students doing Film Making, Dance or Drama and Theatre should bring black trousers and a black top:
Black clothes (trousers and top) for Film Making, Dance and Drama students
Gadgets
These gadgets will make your life easier!
3 pin UK electrical adaptor
A tiny padlock for your suitcase
An umbrella
Mobile telephone and charger
A small rucksack or shoulder bag for your packed lunch on excursions
A computer can be very useful, but it is not essential.
Should I bring a computer?
Yes – a computer is very useful (and the campus is super safe).
No – your computer might get broken when you are travelling.
>> An old computer might be better than a brand new one. A tablet (iPad) could be a good compromise. Also, remember that we have a fantastic computer room on campus.
School equipment
We provide pens, pencils and notebooks for you – but you can bring your favourite pens if you would like to.
Toiletries
Please bring:
Sun cream factor 50 (SPF 50)
Shower gel and shampoo
Toothpaste and toothbrush
Roll on deodorant (not spray!)
Nailclippers
Medicine
Some students bring important medicine. Our House Parents will safely look after your medicine for you.
Important: please bring also a prescription for your medicine written in English from your doctor.
Bring some souvenirs from your country for international night
International Night
We want to know about your country!
Students from 17 countries will be on campus during summer 2018! On Thursday 19th July 2018 and Tuesday 31st July 2018 we will hold an International Night.
If possible, please bring with you any small souvenirs from your country to share with the other students. For example, it is really interesting to try sweets that you can buy in the supermarket from different countries!

How much pocket money does my child need for summer school?
All meals and activities are included in the programme, so on the one hand, students do not need any pocket money. On the other hand, most students love to buy a few souvenirs or an ice cream during their excursions. Therefore, we recommend £50-£75 a week for pocket money.
On arrival our House Parents collect all the pocket money and put it in the school safe. Students only need about £10 – £20 in their wallet. Students can get more pocket money every Tuesday and Friday during House Time, which starts at 2130.
The emergency telephone number
Before your child leaves home, please make sure they enter the Emergency Telephone Number from More Than English in their mobile phone. This special telephone number is on the front cover of the “Student Handbook” which you will receive from your agent.
Did we forget anything?
If we forgot to pack something in the suitcase – please let us know!
