Food & Accommodation

Accommodation
The group your child is travelling with will all be accommodated in accommodation units for the exclusive use of their group. This means that there are no other schools or groups mixing with your child.

Children sleep in fully central heated bunk-bedded dormitories - your child’s teaching staff will decide on dormitory allocation. Each accommodation unit has its own common room, showers, toilets, boot room and kitchenette for making cold and hot drinks.

Group leaders have single and twin rooms interspersed amongst the childrens’ dormitories so they will always be on hand should your child need them at night. There are also members of Hooke Court staff who live on site and will be able to help if there are any problems.

Food
Every group staying at Hooke Court eats in their own dining room at their own seating time. This means that meal times are not shared with other groups. Staff travelling with your child’s group will eat at the same time, in the same dining room. They will also inform us of any dietary requirements your child may have.

We provide locally sourced, home-cooked food for our groups. The food is healthy and nutritious whilst still appealing to a child's taste. We provide a packed lunch, hot evening meal and a cooked breakfast.

Special Diets
Our catering staff are very used to providing for a wide range of dietary requirements. All special diets are catered for. We liaise with each group prior to their visit to ensure that we fully understand the requirements of all members of the group. Please make sure your group leader knows if your child suffers from any allergies or has any special dietary needs. We will work with them to ensure that we can cater for your child.
