SUMMER PROGRAMMES 2020
SUMMER SCHOOL 2020 We have many new and exciting programmes on offer as well as the old favourites. Nursery children will once again learn in the comfort and security of the specialised Early Learning areas at The Lady Elizabeth School in Benitachell. They will learn English during play and fun activities which include, dance, swimming, gym, art & craft, dance and free play. They will be in the care of our friendly, professional and highly qualified nursery staff and their assistants who focus on the children following a fun and varied programme. The 5 - 8 and 9 - 11 year old children will enjoy learning English during inspirational lessons. Our professional English teachers focus on the four skills of learning a language with particular emphasis placed on speaking and communication. A variety of activities are included in the programme and in 2020 we have added exciting activities and workshops. Children will love to learn Circus Skills and sporting activities such as Tennis which have been included in the new 2020 Summer Programme. In 2020 teenage students will be able to choose specific programmes so that they can focus on something that they really enjoy, rather than doing activities which might not be of interest to them. They will combine an Academic Subject with a specialised activity which is chosen before the course begins. They have the choice of four Academic Subjects and eight Elective Subjects. We feel that this choice allows students to participate in subjects that they like and have a passion for. Our excellent Residential Programme, where students stay with a Host Family, continues in 2020 with the fabulous addition of our wonderful Boarding House Facility, situated within 30 minutes of The Lady Elizabeth School. Students will have the choice of whether they stay with a Host Family or they can opt for the Boarding House where they will stay with up to 25 other students from countries all around the world.

on Sunday and parents will be notified when they receive all Summer School information relevant to the start of the course.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE 12 - 16 GROUPS
Due to Academic and Elective Subjects being two week programmes, ALL students in the 12 - 16 Group need to sign up
for at least one session and even though students can do a three-week programme, they must start at the beginning of a
Session. They cannot join the second week of a Session which has already commenced. They can do two, three, four, five,
six or eight weeks but they must always start at the beginning of a Session.
It is preferred that the 9 - 11 Group also join at the beginning of a Session, however, as their programme is more flexible
under special circumstances they will be allowed to join on the second week of a Session.
Younger children can join the Summer Programme at any time.

NURSERY
2 - 4 YEAR OLD CHILDREN
Nursery children enjoy a variety of activities during their time
at Summer School. Our friendly and professional staff place
emphasis on the children having fun and provide a varied and
active programme for both the half day and full day course.
With face painting, dance, music, art, gym/sport and swimming,
there is never a dull moment and learning comes naturally in the
relaxed, safe and cheerful environment.
Each fortnight even our youngest Summer School children will
participate in activities relating to the fortnightly theme. In the first
two weeks of Summer School our little ones will learn some fun
and exciting circus skills which they will show to their parents at
the performance.
The nursery is based in rooms especially for children of this
age. The courtyard between the classrooms is equipped with
playground equipment, sand pits and bikes with a large sheltered
and shady area for the children to play.
The children follow a daily routine which includes rest periods
where they can either have a short siesta or quietly watch a film
in a room which is created for this purpose.
All activities are creative and are taught in English. Spanish
classes are given to those children who are at Summer School to
learn Spanish.
Children from different corners of the globe mix together in
perfect harmony creating a happy and memorable time for your
child!SAMPLE PROGRAMME FOR NURSERY

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,

There’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

not interested in other activities on offer. In 2020 there will be a
programme of sport.
Pupils will be able to try new sports or improve on old skills. Football,
volleyball, rounders, rugby, cricket, swimming and many other sports
will be played throughout the weeks at Summer School and there will
be regular competitions and team events for everyone to participate
in.
Outdoor education will become part of Summer School with students
who follow the sports programme able to participate in activities
such as mountain bike riding, orienteering, kayaking, stand up
paddle and regular visits will be made to local padel and tennis
courts.
ELECTIVE PROGRAMME
MASTER CHEF
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!ELECTIVE PROGRAMME
PERFORMING ARTS
Our Performing Arts course gives students a new and interactive way to hone their English skills 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.

ART & 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 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.ELECTIVE PROGRAMME

@SUMMER SCHOOL
In 2020 we have two residential options. Students can either stay with a Host Family or they can stay in the Boarding Facility which
is approximately 30 minutes from the School. Either way students will have a wonderful time getting to know other students from
different countries around the world whilst studying English in a wonderful safe environment at a fabulous school.
HOST FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL
We hand-pick our Host Families, visiting their
homes and ensuring that they have up-to-date
police checks. We try and make the best possible
matches between students and families to ensure
that they all have a great summer experience.
Many of our Host Families have children of their
own whilst others have grown-up children who
live away from home. Either way the Host Parents
are welcoming and children staying with them are
made to feel welcome and comfortable.
During the week students have breakfast with the
Host Family before they leave for school. Some
Host Families drive the children to The Lady
Elizabeth School and others use the bus service.
Families provide the students with a snack and a
drink for break time and lunch is provided by the
school.
The evening meal is had with the Host Family and
on many occasions Host Families get together with
other families to have BBQs or social gatherings
where students can see their friends from school.
We offer 24-hour assistance and pastoral care for
our families and the students staying with them.
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.RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMME

A fabulous addition to Summer School 2020 is our
wonderful Boarding House Facility which is situated

countries around the world. A bus will transport
students to and from school each morning and
afternoon and in the evenings there will be activities
organised by the House Parents.
The Boarding Facility has a large pool, a table
tennis table, large community areas and is
beautifully furnished. Meals will be prepared by the
House Parents and all students will eat together in
the dining area.
On Saturday boarders will go with other students,
staying with Host Families, to one of the theme
parks in Benidorm. On Sunday they will go on
cultural trips to Valencia or Alicante, or go to the
beach to participate in one of the great outdoor
activities in the local area.
Students will have an unforgettable experience
