ACCOMMODATION

The college is made up of 6 separate accommodation blocks. 5 blocks have predominantly single room accommodation and shared bathroom facilities, while the sixth, used for some of the younger students, has large, airy dormitory accommodation with no more than 7 beds per room. There are common rooms attached to the blocks, equipped with sofas, TV/video & pool table. Each block is single sex.
Every accommodation house has a House Parent living on-site, responsible for the students' welfare. Students should bring a deposit of GBP 60 against any loss or damage of school or LAL property. This is refundable upon departure and not before. It should be provided in GBP sterling or EUR 80.

CATERING

There is a fully equipped kitchen on site and a large, light, airy dining hall. There is a choice of different meals, with a vegetarian option and food is always cooked freshly on site. The varied menu is agreed between LAL Summer Schools and St Swithun's with food supplied from local farmers and suppliers. Meals are on a rota system with two sittings for each meal. Each student will be assigned a colour and they can only arrive at the dining hall at the designated time. This is to make sure that everyone can sit down when they eat, as the dining hall cannot accommodate all the students in one sitting.There is also a Tuck Shop, providing the students with a variety of snacks and drinks at reasonable prices.
