At our Summer School, we take pride in offering a dynamic English learning experience that goes beyond the classroom. Our team of highly skilled EAL teachers, some with over 20 years of experience teaching English as a foreign language to pupils in Windermere and other local schools, is committed to delivering high-quality instruction in an inspiring and fun environment.

This year, we’re excited to introduce several exciting enhancements to the Summer School, designed to elevate the way we teach English and make learning even more enjoyable for the children.

We will be pioneering an innovative approach to language instruction, where our expert EAL teachers will use the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Lake District, as an extended classroom. Our goal is to deliver a large number of English lessons outdoors (weather permitting), offering pupils the unique opportunity to practise their English in real-world settings with inspiration surrounding them.

Imagine studying on the tranquil shores of Lake Windermere, exploring the natural beauties of the the local mountain ranges, or immersing in the vibrant atmosphere of Keswick or Ambleside; these outdoor classroom lettings will provide the perfect backdrop for engaging, hands-on language learning. Through this exciting new approach, pupils will not only improve their language skills, but also gain the confidence to communicate effectively in everyday situations.

Of course, pupils will also benefit from traditional classroom lessons, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. At the end of the course, each pupil will receive a detailed report highlighting their progress in speaking, listening, pronunciation, intonation, grammar, participation, and overall achievement. They’ll also be awarded a certificate, marking their time with us and celebrating the language skills they’ve developed.

With three hours of tuition each day, Monday to Friday, our courses are thoughtfully designed to complement the adventure and sailing programme. Here, pupils will interact with national UK pupils, learning English through fun, immersive activities, and gaining the confidence to speak freely and make lasting friendships.

We strive to give your child a truly unique educational experience – where English learning meets the great outdoors, creating a fun, engaging, and transformative journey for all our pupils.
