Social Media
We offer a wide range of accommodation, standard and Executive, all within walking distance (max 20 minutes approx) of the school and town centre.
Attention to individual requirements where possible
Residential Accommodation
Each student has a wardrobe and drawer space and a lockable cupboard. Towels and bed linen are provided – they are changed weekly. Each house has a pay phone and students can phone home using phone cards purchased from the school office. Wi-fi access is available in all parts of the school. A 24-hour emergency number is also provided.
Homestay for Teenagers
Paignton is a small, quiet town. Students are placed in families as close as possible to the school and in any case at a maximum of 20 minutes’ walking distance (they are accompanied by their families on the first day).
Students usually share a room with a student of a different nationality, unless they ask to stay with a friend. They can also have a single room if they prefer. Accommodation is full board. Students have breakfast with the family and are given a “picnic” lunch (for example, sandwiches, crisps, some fruit, a soft drink) which they eat at school or in the school gardens. They then have dinner with the family in the evening.
As a family-run school, we know all our host families personally. These are people who are used to looking after young people, who genuinely care for the welfare of their young guests and who understand the feelings of youngsters away from home – perhaps for the first time.
All our families are checked regularly by our Accommodation Staff and also by the relevant authorities in accordance with British Council guidelines. Students often come back year after year to the same family and very often longstanding friendships are formed during their Teenager course in Paignton.
Hotels and Bed & Breakfast
.jpg)
We run our own booking service for those who prefer to stay in hotel accommodation. A wide range of Bed and Breakfast accommodation is also available in the town. To request a list of recommended places to stay near the school, send an email to: english@devonschool.co.uk
Apartments
It is possible to rent holiday apartments. Once again we provide an information and reservation service. (Please note it is necessary to book well in advance).
Host Families for Adults
Most students prefer to stay with an English family so that they can get the greatest benefit from their stay in England. All our host families are carefully selected by our accommodation team and then checked for comfort, friendliness and suitable study facilities.
All of our host families are located within walking distance of the school, with a maximum distance of approximately 20 minutes. Students are placed in families using the information received on their enrolment form about special diets or preferences. You can choose full-board, where students have breakfast and dinner at home and are given a picnic lunch every day; or half-board with no weekday lunches. Students stay in single rooms.
