Regent at Stowe
Exclusive. Impressive. Stimulating.
Our residential summer camp at Stowe provides
students with the experience of a lifetime, in an
amazing environment for learning and personal
development.
Stowe School is very special. We use the stimulating educational environment to heighten our students’
learning using the arts, culture, architecture and sculptures found in the school and grounds.
The exceptional Stowe School is one of England’s most prestigious boarding schools and is set in 750
acres of outstanding parkland. It was home to England’s wealthiest man, the Duke of Buckingham, who
often entertained the King at Stowe. The parkland around the house was developed into landscaped
gardens which are now some of Britain’s finest. The network of paths shows off the numerous temples,
sculptures and lakes that fill the landscape. It also has impressive sporting and leisure facilities.
Stowe School has had some famous students. The entrepreneur Richard Branson of the Virgin Group
went to school here, as did AA Milne, who wrote Winnie the Pooh. More recently the actor Henry Cavill
(Superman) was a student. And in the 1960s The Beatles played a concert in the theatre - there is still
memorabilia in the school. Stowe is the perfect setting for learning.

Conveniently located
Stowe is easily accessible – it is 6km from the
town of Buckingham, 45 minutes from Oxford
and 90 minutes from London. The closest
airport is London Heathrow. Students arriving
at Heathrow or Gatwick on our start dates and

Learning with Regent
Regent was established over 50 years ago in 1964 by a passionate,
experienced teacher who ran his first summer school in 1965.
Our core values shine through our programmes:
Positive
We believe that everyone can learn to use English
proficiently; we push each student to become
an effective communicator. We create a positive,
enjoyable environment praising effort and attitude and
encouraging every individual to achieve their best.
Inclusive
Every student is in several different classes or teams. We
arrange whole course activities so that students quickly
feel part of the group, and can connect meaningfully
with staff and other students.
Results focused
Our courses are educationally-led and designed to
ensure robust progress. A coaching session, daily
homework sessions and weekly tests help students to
set goals and visualise progress. They create a learning
portfolio throughout their stay to record results and
achievements. At the end of the course students
receive a Certificate and progress report.
