Welcome to East Barnet School Integration

Our East Barnet Integration program offers international students a unique opportunity to experience authentic British school life. Students are fully integrated into the daily routine of East Barnet School, participating in all aspects of school life alongside British students.

Buddy System

On the first morning of school, there is an assembly where students are buddied up with an English student for the week. This student will be with them all week and help them with finding their way around the school and attend all classes with them.

Comprehensive Curriculum

Classes include English, Art, Geography, Maths, Social Health and Economic Education, Triple Science, History, French, Spanish, PE and IT. Timetables vary depending on the age of the student and what year they are in.

Healthy Meals

Students receive a packed lunch from their host family daily, including a sandwich, crisps, fruit, chocolate and a bottle of water. The East Barnet School kitchen also provides healthy, nutritious and cost-effective meals with an exciting and varied menu.

What's Included in the Package

School Integration

Students will attend one of our highly regarded schools and be integrated and made to feel welcome by the English pupils. In some cases an English student will be paired with each visiting student in a "buddy" system. Each day students will partake in the same daily routine as all other pupils. An English school day lasts from 8:30am to 3pm. Afternoon activities usually last 2-4 hours depending on activity type and travel time.

Host Family Accommodation

Students will be accommodated by one of our experienced and friendly host families and can choose to stay alone or with a friend(s) from their group. Students experience the immersion effect during evenings and have the opportunity to improve their language skills in a natural environment. All our host families have worked for us for many years and are chosen for their superior hosting skills and ability to make students feel at ease.

Host families provide a warm and comforting environment for guests and can cater for any specific needs and requirements. Throughout their stay students will enjoy continental breakfast, choice of packed lunch/hot school meal and hot evening meal. Host family profiles will be provided and students can choose their own accommodation and family accordingly.
