Welcome to Oxford RoyaleYour Important Pre-Summer Information
A Message From Our CEO
Congratulations on taking another step toward academic and career success by choosing an Oxford Royale Summer School. Prepare for exceptional teaching, hands on learning, cultural exploration of your chosen location, and new friendships to last a lifetime.
This page will guide you through all the important information you will need to make the appropriate arrangements in advance of your summer programme, alongside some helpful details about what to expect during your time with Oxford Royale.
We’re so pleased you’re joining us next summer at one of our world-leading, award-winning summer schools.
Here’s a message from our CEO, Andy Palmer, about the incredible opportunities awaiting you.
Important Things To Do
Portal
The Portal is where all of your important information lives, and is also where you can manage your booking. Make sure both parents and students log into the Portal, and provide a contact email for the student.
Photo ID!
We need this for security reasons and to produce a campus pass for you to access certain areas. JPEG format is preferable, and there is a limit of 4MB per photo. Make sure it is of a high quality and with a plain background.
Insurance
You must be comprehensively insured for your time with Oxford Royale. Insurance is not included in the fees for our summer schools and students must arrange this for themselves.
Travelling from Abroad?
Your Campus | Arrivals, Departures & Visitors
The first day of your programme will be a busy one, and our team will be on hand to make sure the day goes smoothly. If you are taking the Oxford Royale Transfer Service, you will be taken straight to campus. If you are making your own way there, make sure you check your arrival instructions, which will be emailed and added to your Portal closer to the summer.
Arrival Day
Your Arrival Day is the first Sunday of the programme – timings will be confirmed via email and in the Portal closer to your start date, but most of our campuses will be expecting you after 3pm. If you arrive in the city earlier, you may be able to store your luggage at our campus and explore the city before your designated arrival time.
If you are joining us in London for Session 1, your arrival day is Monday 29th.
Welcome Reception & Student Induction
Family members are welcome to join our Welcome Reception, where you will meet your campus team and fellow students. After the Welcome Reception, families will depart and our Programme Director will provide a Student Induction talk to outline the rules of the programme, and answer any questions you may have.
Our staff will show you to your room and provide you with a room key or fob – remember to keep this safe, as a charge will be applied if you lose or damage your room key!
Exeat Forms & Departure Day
If you wish to leave the campus outside of the programme, you must have a parent or guardian complete an exeat form.
Departure Day | Saturday Morning
On departure day, rooms are vacated after breakfast. Your campus will let you know exactly what time you will need to depart, and often this is before 11am. You will need to return your keys to the campus office.
More detailed instructions on your departure day will be made available closer to the start date.
Visitors, Exhibition Day & Graduation
Where possible, parents can book tickets to attend their child’s Exhibition Day event and Graduation Ceremony. More details will be available on how to book tickets closer to the summer. Tickets are also included in the Parent Package in Oxford & Cambridge should your parent wish to book a place now.
Any visitors to campus must be arranged with the Programme Director. You will receive contact information closer to the summer.
What to Pack
The Essentials
The only "essentials" for your course are your laptop and charger - all academic work will be done here! The travel essentials also include your passport, immigration & visa documentation (if needed), all flight tickets and documents, medical prescriptions, emergency contact details and your campus address.
