What happens in a day

The interpreter comes to you for the whole day. They will aim to arrive at school around 8.15 am to allow time to set up and ensure the planned day will meet your expectations. The day finishes at 3.00 pm to allow equipment to be cleared safely before pupils leave.

What you can expect

Booking a day is simplicity itself. After a phone call or email we can arrange a date to suit you. We discuss the areas of curriculum you would like us to cover, your school timetable, parking arrangements, the possible use of halls and methods of payment.

Once booked we will send you a confirmation letter, including a draft timetable. A week before your booking we will telephone to make sure everything is clear and there are no last minute issues. We aim to make your day as good as possible.
