Life in the UK and at Moreton Hall

Where exactly is Moreton Hall? Moreton Hall is located in a semi-rural location in North Shropshire four miles from the historic market town of Oswestry. The cities of Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool are only an hour or so away.

What is the weather like? Contrary to popular belief, it does not rain every day in England or in the rest of the U.K. However, as Britain is an island country, the surrounding sea gives us a varied climate. Our summers are cooler than those on the continent, but the winters are milder.

What is the food like? The food is predominantly British but all students will get the chance to sit on the food council and their views will be taken into account. We also have an international student council where we make sure we celebrate festivals from a range of countries.

English only please Students must try and speak English as much as possible.

What’s the dress code? Please take some time to look at the ISC Dress Code and ensure that you arrive at school with appropriate smart clothing for the working day. You must bring some comfortable clothing and sportswear too. You will all have Games (sport) lessons on your timetable.

What about my bedroom? You will share a twin ensuite dorm with another student your age. Bring some photographs and posters to put up on your walls and if possible, your own bedding. This will help you feel at home right away!

Covid 19 Information

Moreton Hall are pleased to have signed up to the BSA Covid Safe Charter, which will enable us to provide the safest care possible. More information will follow nearer the beginning of term.

All the staff at Moreton Hall want you to feel comfortable and at home. We are here to help you to take care of yourself and to settle happily.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Very best wishes,

The International Study Centre Team
