监护服务如何随时间演变

培宝监护:于恰当时机给予精准关怀

在培宝,自您的孩子加入我们的那一刻起,直至其完成学业离校,都会由专属的区域经理悉心照料。我们所提供的关怀始终保持高标准且稳定不变,然而,这种关怀与支持的具体实施方式,会依据每个孩子在培宝不同阶段的独特需求而灵活调整。

4-6 年级(9-11 岁)

处于这个年龄段的孩子,在适应全新的国家和学校环境时,需要额外的照料与支持。

  • 旅途全程陪伴:若您的孩子以无人陪伴未成年人的身份出行,培宝 的工作人员会在其抵达时迎接,并安全护送孩子前往学校。在孩子返程时,同样会悉心照料,将孩子送至值机柜台,并留在机场,确保航班准时起飞。
  • 家校往返无忧:往返寄宿家庭的行程也会得到妥善安排与严格管理。
  • 活动严格监管:学校或寄宿家庭之外的所有活动,均需获得区域经理和家长的批准,且孩子必须始终由经过批准的成年人陪同。
  • 定期关怀沟通:培宝的区域经理会与您的孩子及其所在学校保持定期联系,每学期实地拜访两次,了解孩子的学习进展和身心健康状况。

7-8 年级(11-12 岁)

处于这一年龄段的孩子,我们为其提供的支持力度依旧保持在最高水平,与 4 – 6 年级所获的照料极为相似,只是在细节上稍作调整,以此契合他们不断变化的需求。

  • 全方位关怀引导:我们的区域经理会持续助力孩子解决在思乡情绪、人际交往以及学业等方面遇到的困扰。
  • 密切沟通参与:区域经理每学期实地探访两次,若有必要,还会参与家长会以及学校活动,以便更全面地了解孩子情况。
  • 出行保障安排:所有行程都有妥善规划,无论是孩子以无人陪伴未成年人的身份往返机场,还是往返寄宿家庭,安全始终是首要考量。
  • 出行陪伴要求:孩子离开学校或寄宿家庭外出时,身边必须有负责的成年人陪同,确保孩子的安全与行为规范。

9-11 年级(13-15 岁)

在这几年间,孩子们通常会自信心逐步增强,开始探索属于自己的独立空间。

  • 适度自主安排:即便培宝的区域经理仍要求您的孩子详尽报备出行去向、交通方式以及同行人员,但在既定的时间范围内,孩子们可以独自或是与朋友在当地的特定地点自由活动 。
  • 针对性成长引导:区域经理的工作重点会转移到协助孩子确定 GCSE 考试科目、应对压力以及维护良好的人际关系上。
  • 持续关怀陪伴:我们依旧每学期探访您的孩子两次,区域经理也会随时为他们提供所需的支持与帮助。

12-13 年级(16-18 岁)

在学校求学的最后两年,学生们都在为步入成年阶段做准备,我们的陪伴与引导方式也充分考虑到了他们日益成熟的特质。区域经理与学生之间的关系,会从类似父母关怀的角色,逐步转变为朋友式的支持,侧重于给予学生情感上的引导与鼓励。

  • 日常规范与安全保障:学生仍需随身携带电话,以便在遇到突发情况时能及时求助。同时,离开学校或寄宿家庭外出时,必须严格遵守事先约定好的回家时间。
  • 拓展活动与丰富经历:经家长同意后,学生可以和朋友前往更远的地方进行一日游。走出熟悉的小圈子,到英国的某个城市旅行,这种体验能让他们接触到不同的人和事,成为他们成长过程中难得且受欢迎的经历。
  • 助力应对学业压力:12-13 年级阶段学业压力增大,区域经理能够极大地帮助学生提升应对这些额外压力的能力。一直以来陪伴在学生身边的区域经理,会给学生带来安全感,让他们在这个紧张关键的时期保持情绪稳定,进而在学业上取得优异成绩。
  • 规划未来发展方向:在这一阶段,我们支持的重点在于提供实用的建议和给予情感上的支持,帮助学生为未来的人生道路做好充分准备。无论是选择进入大学深造、休学一年去丰富阅历,还是直接步入职场开启职业生涯,我们都将为他们提供全方位的帮助。

在孩子成长的每一个阶段,培宝监护始终密切关注他们的动态,依据其不断变化的需求灵活调整监护策略。从悉心的关怀照料,到耐心的引导启发,再到合理给予探索世界的自由空间,培宝监护致力于全方位护航,为孩子们的茁壮成长提供坚实保障 。

个人成长

How guardianship changes over time

Pippa's provides the right care at the right time

With Pippa’s Guardians, your child is cared for by a dedicated Area Manager from the moment they join us until they leave school. The care provided is a constant throughout, but how this care and support is delivered adapts to suit each child’s needs at every stage of their time with Pippa’s.

Years 4-6 (Ages 9-11)

At this age, children need extra care and support as they adjust to a new country and school environment.

  • If your child is travelling as an unaccompanied minor, a Pippa’s Guardians representative will meet them at arrivals and safely escort them to school. The same care is provided for their return journey, taking them to the check in desk, and remaining at the airport to ensure their flight leaves on time.
  • Travel to and from host families is managed with the same diligence.
  • All activities outside school or host family must be approved by their Area Manager and parents, and children are always accompanied by an approved adult..
  • Pippa’s Area Managers maintain regular contact with your child and their school, visiting twice each term to check on their progress and well-being.

Years 7-8 (Ages 11-12)

The level of support remains high at this age and very similar to the care provided for Years 4-6, evolving slightly to meet their changing needs.

  • Our Area Managers continue to provide assistance with challenges like homesickness, friendship issues, or academic concerns when visiting them at school
  • They visit twice per term and can attend parents evenings and events if required
  • All travel is organised, whether that is to and from the airport as an unaccompanied minor or to and from the host family. Safety is paramount.
  • Children are required to be accompanied by a responsible adult when away from school or their host family’s home.

Years 9-11 (Ages 13-15)

During these years, children often gain confidence and start to explore their independence.

  • While Pippa’s still require details of where your child is going, how they will get there, and with whom, they are allowed to enjoy time on their own or with friends at a local location for an agreed period of time.
  • Area Managers shift focus to help with decisions about GCSE subjects, managing stress, and maintaining friendships.
  • Your child is still visited twice a term and their Area Manager is there to support them at any time.

Years 12-13 (Ages 16-18)

In their final years of school, students prepare for adulthood, and our approach reflects their growing maturity. The Area Manager’s relationship evolves from that of a parental figure to more of a supportive friend, offering emotional guidance and encouragement.

  • Students are still expected to carry a phone for emergencies and adhere to agreed times to return home when away from school or their host family.
  • They can enjoy day trips with friends further afield, with parental agreement, so a trip to one of our cities can be a welcome change.
  • An Area Manager can make an enormous difference to a child’s ability to cope with the added pressures that sixth form brings – the security of having someone who has been by their side throughout their school days can give your child the stability they need to excel at this stressful time.
  • At this stage, our support focuses on offering practical advice, emotional support, and preparing them for the next steps, whether that’s university, a gap year, or entering the workforce.

Through every stage of your child’s journey, Pippa’s adapts to their changing needs, providing the care, guidance, and freedom they require to thrive.


What are the benefits of a UK education?

What are the benefits of a UK education?

Sending your child to a UK boarding school is a decision that can have profound and lasting benefits. The UK is home to some of the world’s oldest and most prestigious educational institutions, renowned for their academic excellence, broad curriculum, and emphasis on personal growth. So, how does this benefit your child?

The best teachers

The UK is known for its wonderful schools that give your child the highest standard of teaching and support them to do their very best. The teachers know what your child needs to learn and can guide them in the right way. If your aim is for your child to go to a top university, you are giving them the best start.

 

Small classes

Class sizes are smaller, giving your child more focused attention and helping them to develop in their own way. This support, especially for children who are living far from home, is crucial to help them feel settled and looked after, while they adjust to their new surroundings. The small classes allow for very tailored teaching and ensure that your child is being taught everything they need to excel.

 

Personal development

The extra-curricular activities offered in sports, music and drama give your child a way to develop other skills such as teamwork and leadership, valued in key careers such as medicine and law. Being part of an orchestra and playing music to an audience is a wonderful experience that develops confidence and skill. Playing rugby for a team inspires pride in how actions can influence a result.

University access

There is also a natural journey for students studying A level or IB in the UK to go to a UK university, many that are respected worldwide for their history and academic excellence such as Oxford and Cambridge. Going to a UK school will give your child the best chance to go to a UK university, or another well respected institution such as an Ivy League US university. They will ensure your child has the best chance in the application process, giving them the knowledge and skills needed.

But a UK education also gives a broadening of knowledge, not just academically but socially and emotionally. The people they meet and the places they visit will all have an impact on the sort of person they will be when they leave school.

 

A multi-cultural environment

The UK is an incredibly diverse community, and most schools will have pupils from across the globe. The wonderful friends your child will make from different countries with different cultures at the school and outside will open their eyes to the world and give them a whole new way of thinking about life.
A UK education is respected across the world. You have given your child the best start any parent could want.

How your child will celebrate Christmas at school

How your child will celebrate Christmas at school

Christmas in the UK is something special. The traditions, the history, the food, the lights! Every school will embrace this wonderfully uplifting holiday that marks the end of the Michaelmas term, and your child will be immersed in everything to do with Christmas. It is an opportunity for students and staff to get together before the holidays and they will certainly know how to put on a celebration!

Christmas decorations

Your child’s school and house will be transformed with Christmas trees covered in fairy lights and tinsel – your child might have helped. Festive wreaths will be placed on doors, which students might have created in art lessons.

 

Christmas services and events

Many schools, particularly those with a Christian heritage, hold Christmas services or carol concerts in their chapels, singing traditional hymns and carols, and reading festive prayers. Schools also enjoy Christmas Fairs, with games, festive treats, and a chance to buy some Christmas presents for friends and family. Your child’s school may also have a Christmas play or a festive music concert that your child could take part in or go with friends and support. They might be recorded so you could enjoy them yourself!

Christmas food

A Christmas lunch or dinner, with traditional turkey, stuffing and Christmas pudding, is a tradition not to be missed! Your child might have to wear a Christmas jumper and wear a colourful paper hat – there will be some funny photos – keep a look out on school social media!

 

Boarding House fun

Your child’s house will have their own celebrations specifically for their students. They could go out for a Christmas meal, have a secret Santa – where each child buys a little fun gift and gives it anonymously to another child – or spend time decorating the house with tinsel and lights. Your child will be living and breathing Christmas!

Supporting the community

Many schools ensure their pupils understand the meaning of Christmas by asking them to give back to the community through fundraising or charity giving such as providing care parcels to the poor. Volunteering to visit care homes and those living alone is also a wonderful thing that your child could do to support their local community.

Your child’s school will be sensitive to the cultural and religious diversity of its students and if your child or some of their friends do not celebrate Christmas, it is still a time that gives a sense of belonging and community. The traditions your child experiences at school at this time of the year will hopefully become cherished memories for them and for you.

Pippa’s Guardians’ Area Managers love to visit their students, to get to know them really well, and spoil them once in a while! Both Brighton and Malvern College students were recently treated to evening get-togethers with their local Area Managers.

Malvern – Monday 18th November 2024 – Pizza and table tennis tournament night

The snow had been falling for a few days prior to this full-filled evening together, providing a fantastic festive feel for the gathering between Area Managers, Sarah Checketts and Vicki Wallace, and 10 Pippa’s students. The gathering was held in School House Common Room, where they have the best set up for a table tennis and pool tournament!

Sarah and Vicki agree that it was a great opportunity for everyone to meet students from other year groups and houses, and it was lovely to see everyone chatting together and making new friends. It was an evening of catching up on everyone’s news, eating delicious food and playing games, which all got quite competitive!! The treat for supper went down particularly well with the boys – pizza, with some Christmas chocolate for dessert. What a fantastic evening, and one which Sarah and Vicki are hoping to repeat again soon.

Pippa’s students from Brighton College enjoyed an evening of Christmas treats at the College’s fantastic Smith Café, which had been beautifully decorated for the festive season. Area Managers for Sussex, Elaine Allen and Sarah Garnett, met with 10 students for fruit punch, mince pies and a good catch up. A lovely time was had by all, in a truly wonderful atmosphere, and as they said goodbye at the end of the evening, students were given festive goody bags containing even more treats!

学业成功的基石 - 人文关怀与支持

学业成功的基石 - 人文关怀与支持

每个学年都会给孩子们带来不同的情感和经历。在第一年,您的孩子可能会感到思念家乡,同时对结识新朋友感到紧张。在中三阶段,考试压力和繁重的作业可能会让他们感到不堪重负。而到了中六中学最后两年,孩子们可能会感到迷茫,因为他们不仅需要申请大学,还要完成学业。

作为家长,您始终会为孩子提供支持和鼓励。此外,学校提供的辅导服务,例如关于焦虑管理的在线研讨会和社交媒体的正确使用讨论,也能有效帮助孩子调节情绪健康,助力他们发挥出最佳潜能。

人文精神的关怀对您孩子的成功产生了深远的影响,因为它在学校生活的各个方面为他们提供了重要的支持。最近的研究(《教育中的人文关怀》,剑桥学者)表明,身心健康和幸福感较高的学生在学业和社交方面表现更为优异,他们更快乐且更具韧性。

 

什么是人文精神关怀

人文精神关怀是一种全面支持学生及其家庭福祉的方式。您所在的学校设有一个教牧关怀团队,成员可能包括辅导员、护士和导师。学生及其家人可以随时向该团队咨询任何个人或学业相关的问题。学校还可能提供健康计划或个性化课程,帮助学生应对考试压力和焦虑等挑战。每位学生都拥有一个即时的支持网络,帮助他们解决问题,畅所欲言,理解自己的经历。同时,家长们也有一个即时的支持网络,可以分享作为家长的困惑,并获得帮助以支持他们的孩子。

人文精神关怀如何助力您孩子的学业成功与快乐?

无论您的孩子是通过参加健康研讨会获取建议,还是与辅导员沟通,或向导师请教,人文精神关怀都能帮助他们更好地管理日常生活,从而在各项活动中取得更显著的成就。

提升动力与自信

人文关怀能够为学生营造归属感,增强他们的自尊心。当学生感受到有一个支持性的网络时,他们更愿意参与课堂活动、勇于冒险并提出问题。

培养复原力与应对能力

人文关怀项目能够教导学生如何面对挫折,帮助他们应对考试压力,并将挑战视为可克服的难题。

情绪管理

焦虑和压力会影响学生在课堂上的专注力和学习效果。人文关怀的支持能够帮助学生更好地管理这些情绪,从而提高他们的注意力。

您孩子在学校的每一项活动都离不开人文关怀,这将助力他们在各方面都能表现出色。


2024年日本东京英国寄宿学校展览会

今年11月初,培宝监护在东京举行了第二届英国寄宿学校博览会(https://bbsfjapan.com/)。Ben Hughes 对展会的内容和流程进行了如下介绍:

我很高兴地宣布,这次活动取得了巨大的成功,共有18所顶尖的英国寄宿学校参与其中。更令人振奋的是,超过150个日本家庭正在为他们的孩子寻找在英国寄宿学校的教育机会。

在展览会上,我们还组织了相关的座谈会,以确保每个日本家庭都有机会与英国寄宿学校进行直接交流,讨论子女的入学事宜。日本家庭对我们寄宿学校表现出极大的兴趣,展会的出席人数和注册人数均创下新高。当天早上10点,许多人就开始排队进入会场。每所学校的咨询台前都挤满了等待与招生官或校长交谈的家庭。那些由两位代表出席的寄宿学校能够更高效地利用时间,与两个家庭进行连续的交流。

我们非常高兴地收到了几位学校招生官对这次博览会的反馈,其中提到:

培宝在东京再次成功举办了精彩的英国寄宿学校展览会。无论是活动前的指导、活动当天的管理与服务,还是展会期间的家庭接待和整体行程安排,培宝团队都展现了卓越的表现。Ben、Yoriko以及培宝的每一位成员都做得非常出色!

与培宝监护的合作非常顺利,BBSFJ 2024 的组织工作也非常出色。此次展会让我们与许多重视孩子在英国独立学校教育的日本家庭建立了良好的联系。我们期待明年再次参与展会。

此次展会的组织工作非常出色,学生和家长们的表现也令人称赞。培宝对日本市场的变化有着深刻的洞察,因此这次展会已成为我们招生日程中不可或缺的一部分。

除了展会本身,我们还在活动前一天晚上于东京的一家五星级酒店举行了酒会,展会结束后则享用了美味的和牛晚餐。周日,我们为感兴趣的同行安排了一次文化之旅。从个人的角度来看,我非常高兴能再次与家人回到日本,感受到日本人的热情好客,并进一步拓展在日本的市场。

鉴于日本市场的高需求,我们已经计划在2025年3月和11月再次举办英国寄宿展览会。

我想借此机会衷心感谢参与展览会的团队,特别是我们的英国同事Tracy和Sarah,以及在东京全力以赴的Yoriko、Aya和Naoko。你们都是一支卓越的团队,衷心感谢大家的辛勤付出和努力。
