Your child doesn’t need valuables items such as money, mobile phones, or electronic equipment. Any such items brought to the course are done so at your own risk, STEM Summer Courses and The Engineering Trust do not accept any responsibility for theft, loss, or damage.

We have a first aid qualified staff member who will deal with accidents and illnesses. Should your child suffer a serious injury or illness you will be contacted immediately. 

The Course Leader will have a mobile phone and the number will be made available at the Welcome Desk when you sign your child(ren) in on the first day.

No, we don’t allow this because adults must be supervised for safeguarding reasons and your presence means our Course Leader is looking after you, rather than the children! More importantly, we encourage children to make new friends and build their independence which often is slowed if parents or guardians remain on site.

We encourge local businesses to buy one (or several) places on our courses. We give them (the business) a Free Place Voucher which they can then donate to a local school or organisation, allowing a child to attend for free. The vouchers allow children to attend who would not otherwise be able to afford a place. The vouchers are given to schools as we feel they are best placed to assess who is in need of the free place.
