Information &
Organisation specific to the Peter Pan Course
|
|
Information There
are two kinds of participants Non residential: local
students Residential: those
who board and take all their meals at Frensham for the duration of the
course. At Moreton Hall itself: most
of the very spacious bedrooms are shared between 2, 3 or 4 participants; we
have now a large number of very comfortable single bedrooms in the new
building whose completion was achieved end of Summer 2008 We usually give the largest shared bedrooms to young people and
the double bedrooms to couples or families. Adults or siblings wishing to accompany
students may also be accommodated at Moreton Hall School (board and
lodging) per day. This fee comprises the use of the sporting facilities. All applications must be made in
advance. We must
however emphasize that Moreton Hall is not a hotel (no double beds,
and there are more showers than bathtubs!). Particular care will be taken to
provide balanced and enjoyable menus; full English breakfast, « continental »
dishes for lunch and dinner but as we rely on Frensham Enterprises for their
choice of caterers, some years have seen unlucky choices! Organisation (please read carefully)
The
Peter Pan group is made up of accompanied children 4 to 10; We take only 17 children Accompanied
students can share their parent's bedroom. Those children are expected
nevertheless to follow the daily timetable and rules of the course. There
is a time by which all children have to be in their bedrooms irrespective of
whether they are accompanied . Parents on the course have to make sure that
their children observe this time. There
will be no exemption and parents must be aware of it. We have neither time
nor inclination to waste time on discipline. There are better ways to enjoy
the course. Parents
present on the course are not permitted to impose their choices or discipline
on any child who is not theirs. All
disciplinary decisions are the organizer's responsibility and prerogative. We are
aware that it may appear to be a rather rigid rule but we trust that caring
and understanding parents will understand the idea behind it. This is not
negotiable. Social
life Social life evolves mainly around music making, There are several tennis courts and a fantastic
open air heated swimming pool supervised by Mrs Judith Atkinson who has been
working on the course for the past 8 years. For parents: There are two pubs within walking
distance from Moreton Hall and, for those with cars, the neighbouring town of
Farnham is a 15 minutes drive. General Information A certificate of insurance against civil liability, theft, and
physical injury must be sent with the final payment, at the latest. We particularly draw your attention to the need to insure
musical instruments as well (loss and theft). Non-European students must hold a medical insurance. Use of all sports equipment at the school is free. Applications will be treated on a first come first served basis.
Nevertheless, the Course Directors reserve the right to cancel the course if the
number of applicants is deemed to be too low 3 months before the starting
date of the 2008 course. In this instance, the total amount already paid will
be refunded in full and no other type of compensation will be given. We had to turn down 20 applications in Summer 2008 If a participant decides to cancel after the 1rstMay 2008,
the registration fees shall not be refunded. If cancellation takes place
after the 1rst June, no refund of deposit or total fees will be
possible. The balance of fees is due on or before 1rst June 2008 after which date any reserved accommodation not
paid for in full will be re-let. We strongly recommend that you take out
insurance to cover cancellation costs. Moreton Hall has a very strict indoors non-smoking policy. Anyone breaking this rule in their bedroom
or in the common rooms will be asked to leave the course and there will be no
refund of fees. Language
tuition is usually held during the mornings. Afternoons are reserved for
music tuition, choir and sports activity (tennis and swimming). While
their children go to language classes parents can register for language
tuition as well. The LMFL Moreton
Hall summer courses have set as their objectives - Creating
a highly motivating musical atmosphere for all participants, and -
Encouraging social interaction between all in order to give each student the
feeling of belonging to one big musical family. |
