Welfare Coordinator

Samiad is one of the largest residential summer schools in the UK, with four campuses and over 1000 students excepted from 70 countries.

We pride ourselves on offering a unique experience by focusing on the following four areas:

  • We have an industry leading staff to student ratio, meaning we can spend more one-2-one time with our students, and our teachers join in with all activities and excursions to encourage the use of English.
  • We offer unique, high value excursions, including our now famous OVERNIGHT excursions to either a medieval castle or a safari park!
  • We push the boundaries on what activities can be offered at a summer school, from zombie runs, escape games, assault courses and music festivals
  • We cap each language to 20%, meaning there is a maximum of 30 children with the same mother tongue at each campus.
