POCKET MONEY

You should give your money to the Centre Management team when you arrive at the site. They will lock it in a safe with your name and amount on the envelope. If you need to take money on an excursion, you will be able to collect it during designated times.

We would recommend bringing up to £50 per week with you as pocket money during your stay in the UK, which can be used during your free time on excursions and for the tuck shop at the school.

It is best to bring a mixture of notes and coins with you to spend in the UK, however, it is not recommended to bring £50 notes with you as they are rarely used in shops and can be refused by shopkeepers if they do not have enough change to give you if you are buying something with a £50 note.
