Homestay
Living with a friendly homestay is the perfect way to help you practise your English outside the classroom and understand British culture. Homestays offer independence and welcoming, clean and comfortable accommodation.
In our last British Council inspection the organistion of our homestays was rated as excellent.
Most students ask us to find homestay accommodation for them.
What are your special requirements?
We choose your homestay carefully, so when you register, we will ask you what kind of homestay you would like to stay with. Standard homestays cost £130 per week. Some homestays have accommodation with private bathroom, these cost £170 per week.
All of our homestays:
- are carefully-selected for their friendliness and are regularly revisited
- are within walking distance or a bus ride away from the school
- provide bed, breakfast and evening meals Monday to Friday, with all meals at the weekend
- give you a comfortable single room
- promise never to have 2 students of the same first language unless requested
- are experienced in looking after students of all ages and nationalities
Before you arrive in England you receive a profile of the homestay you are going to stay with. We also give the homestay some information about you.
Your homestay is booked from the Sunday before your course starts to the Saturday after your course finishes. If you arrive in Oxford or leave Oxford on different days, you are responsible for arranging your own extra nights' accommodation.
If you want to pay your homestay yourself, you must do so every two weeks in advance. If you want the Lake School to pay your homestay for you, there is an extra charge of £15. If you want to leave your accommodation before the date booked, you must tell your homestay and the Lake School, at least one week in advance.
