Accommodation
Bede’s School is nestled in the beautiful English countryside and is located less than 50min from Gatwick airport. Designed to reflect the feeling of life in a rural community, the spacious campus offers accommodation for up to 250 students for boys and girls. Most bedrooms have 2–4 beds with shared bathrooms. Every boarding house has its own communal space for students to relax.

Downtime
Players will have time to relax and socialise with friends and coaches during downtime. Swerve will seek to host a live Q&A with a former/current professional footballer. Players will have access to games consoles, table tennis, snooker and much more! Players will also have the chance to call home during this time.

Pastoral Care
Swerve has an on-board matron who is medically trained and will act as a maternal figure throughout the players stay. The matron's duties include helping with supervision during evenings and downtime in the boarding house, providing pastoral support and care for children, attending to any medical needs (including the administering of medicine etc) and she will be on call throughout the evening.

Staff
All staff are first aid trained and have up-to-date safeguarding certificates along with current DBS verification. We will be informing children on arrival about our residential camp expectations, housing rules, camp rules and emergency fire procedures. Staff will be at hand 24/7 should anyone need assistance when residing at camp. Our staff to child ratio is 1:15 for training and 1:10 for the boarding house.
