Group Leader’s Daily Schedule

07:30-08:30 Wake up. Help your students get ready for breakfast and check they are all up in time.

08:00-08:45 Breakfast. Check all your students have come down to the dining hall and have had some-
thing for breakfast. Help our staff supervise them.
09:00 Lessons start - Please check that all your students have gone to their classes. All students
must attend lessons unless they are ill.

09:30-10:00 Group Leader meeting. Daily with management to talk about the day/week ahead. This is a
good time to ask any questions you may have. After this you are free until the students finish
lessons, unless any of your students are sick, then they will need your help.

12:30-13:15 Lunch Time. At meal times please check that your students are present and eating OK. This is
a good time to meet with your group and tell them any news from the meeting that morning.

13:15-14:00 House Time. This is the time for your students to get their things together and change their
clothes for their afternoon activities. We will have a staff member there, but it would be really
helpful for you to help your students and be available to them.
14:00-17:30 Daytime Activities. There are usually 2 or 3 activities every afternoon, with students moving
between activities at set times. Our staff will lead the activities with Group Leaders helping to
supervise.

17:30-18:30 House Time. This is time for your students to relax a bit before dinner, it gives them time to
change clothes for dinner and lets you make sure they are all there.
18:30-19:00 Dinner time. Like all other meal times it is a good time to ensure all your students are eating
properly and discuss what they did in the afternoon.
19:00-20:00 Evening House Time

20:00-22:00 Evening Activity. Where all students and GLs come together to enjoy an evening of fun, in the
form of discos, quizzes or performances.
22:00-23:00 Lights Out. At this time, everyone goes back to their bedrooms from the evening activity and
gets ready to settle into bed. At this time you need to check that your students are in their
rooms, are quiet, behaving well and not disturbing others.

23:00-00:00 Night. At this time, we have a member of staff on duty but we will call on you if a member of
your group is being loud, disruptive or disturbing other students who are trying to sleep.

This is a sample daily programme: times will vary centre to centre.
