This course looks at the boarding experience through the eyes of the boarders themselves\, helping schools reflect on what they can do to maximise the impact of what they do. We will focus on key times in the day such as evenings and weekends\, and the major touchpoints in the year\, such as induction to help schools produce an action plan to produce the best boarding experience. \nTraining topics will include: \nCreating a great boarding experience: \n\nWhat makes a great induction process – winning over your boarders from before day 1.\nEvenings in boarding – balancing academics with other personal development activities.\nWeekends in boarding – building a great weekend programme for boarders.\nGetting the basics right – food\, exercise\, sleep…and wi-fi.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nBe able to audit the boarding programme at your school against best practice around the world.\nGet ideas for additions to your boarding programme to make it more attractive to current and future boarders.\nReflect on your weekend and evening provision to ensure it meets the needs of boarders.\n\nBOOK NOW\n \n\n \nDale Wilkins\, Executive Director\, Scotland/Wales and Accredited/Compliance \nDale joined the BSA during Summer 2017 with responsibility for safeguarding and standards\, having previously been a course tutor since 1998.
