We know and trust our families and the best
testimonials that we have are that students want to
repeat with the same family year after year.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
SUMMER SCHOOL 2020ENGLISH LANGUAGE Students sit an English examination upon arrival at Summer School and are put into groups based on the exam result. There are generally four levels, Beginner, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate and Advanced. Special consideration is given to students who are looking at passing a Cambridge or equivalent exam and they are put into a class with others who have the same aim. English is taught in a relaxed environment with a lot of emphasis on speaking activities. Students work in pairs or small groups to build confidence and fluency in real life scenarios. They develop skills in thinking, reading, writing, listening and speaking in English. Class sizes are small so that teachers are able to give students individual support and help during the lessons. Group activities include University Challenge, Running Dictations, Quizzes, Student Presentations and Debates. These activities encourage students to work in teams and to have fun whilst learning.

and looking at the characteristics of Mediterranean
habitats. Students will visit local marine parks,

ocean currents and meteorology.
The course is an exciting introduction to Marine Science
and is very practical. Much of the student’s time will be
spent in and on the water, conducting research. This
will then be combined with classroom activities where
they will collate their findings, conduct experiments
and through the dissection of marine animals,
invertebrates and fish, find out about respiratory systems
and diffusion along with other facts about animal
physiology.

generation, writing and revising drafts and editing. Teachers will help and encourage

ELECTIVE
SUBJECTSThere’s much more to photography than just
pointing and shooting with a mobile phone.
Photography is an art and this fun and practical
elective is aimed at all budding photographers,
from beginners to more experienced students. It will
teach pupils how to use a camera for the first time,
or help to explore new avenues and techniques for
students who already have a good understanding
of photography.
The class is structured around practical
assignments, which will be collated in a mini
portfolio as the basis for future work and study.
Students will study the composition of photos
and look at ways of enhancing their own work
using different programs such as Photoshop and
Lightroom. Pupils will leave Summer School with a
sketch book full of their own work with annotations
describing the techniques they used and how they
improved the look of the photo.

@SUMMER SCHOOL
• Cooking is an all-time favourite
at Summer School, but in 2020
we are taking it to the next level
where students have the chance
to learn to cook three-course
meals and specialist dishes. They
will also learn about food
preparation and presentation with
each two-week course finishing
with a Master Chef competition.
• Whilst learning how to cook,
students will also learn about
nutrition, healthy options and
the importance of leading a
healthy lifestyle.
• As part of the course students
will visit local markets and
supermarkets to choose
ingredients for their competition.
The idea is to make it a lot of fun
but it is also about learning
English and how to cook!PEFORMING ARTS • The Performing Arts Programme includes dance,
drama, singing, backstage production, make-up,

stage settings, costume design and more.
As with all elective activities, Performing Arts
is combined with an equal number of English

and become stars of the stage! Teachers will run
sessions on improvisation, stage settings, and
theatrical techniques.
At the end of each fortnightly course students will
perform for their parents. The performance will be
based on the theme for that fortnight.
Week 2: The Greatest Show on Earth

Week 6: Reality TV
Week 8: A medley of Summer/Beach MoviesART & DESIGN
Students who like art and to be creative will love spending their summer working on some great artistic projects
based around the fortnightly themes.
Their chance to shine will come at the end of the course when their work is displayed for parents and other students
@SUMMER SCHOOL to see. They will have the choice of different mediums and will work on one major piece to take home with them.
There is nothing nicer for artistic and creative people to spend time with like-minded people pottering in an art room.WOODWORK Learning outcomes include:

how to use basic woodwork tools under the supervision of an experienced carpenter and
woodwork teacher. Over the two week period they will manage their own project and enjoy
seeing the final outcome. Children love to create and there is nothing more satisfying than
working on a project from start to finish.Some students like to try a combination of activities
and don’t want to focus on just one. For that
reason we offer English combined with multi-
