Advice for Young Learners

• Only persons aged 18 or over are allowed to drink alcohol or go into pubs.
• Only persons aged 18 or over are allowed to smoke and purchase cigarettes. LAL Summer Schools operates a strict “NO SMOKING” policy at all its centres.
• The carrying of any type of weapon without a licence or reasonable excuse is a criminal offence. (self-defence is not a reasonable excuse)
• Stealing from a shop usually results in police prosecution.
• Students stealing from school will be disciplined, which could include repatriation at the parents' expense.
• The age of sexual consent is 16.
• LAL reserves the right to expel any students for unacceptable behaviour or where there is reason to believe they have been guilty of committing a crime. All expenses arising in such cases will be borne by the students or their parents/guardians.

Students will be issued a Handbook giving guidance on appropriate behaviour. We expect students to:

• Behave well at all times.
• Carry their student card with them at all times. If they lose it, we will of course provide a replacement – but there will be a small administration fee payable.
• Always inform their House Parent of illness or injury.
• Students aged under 16 are not allowed off campus unless accompanied by an adult. Students who are 16 years old or over may leave the campus in the afternoon in groups of 3 and if they are in possession of a mobile phone. Students must always sign out.
• Report any problems to a member of staff. Students must bring a deposit of GBP 60 against any loss or damage of school or LAL property. This is refundable upon departure and not before. It should be provided in GBP sterling or EUR 80.
• Look after their belongings and they MUST hand in their passports, tickets and large amounts of money to the School Administrator for safe-keeping upon arrival.

If damage is caused at the school, the student will have to pay for the costs of repair.
