For an example of what our timetable looks like and what can go on in a day please have a look at our Sample Timetable

Sleeping

If your child is coming to summer school with a friend, we can usually arrange for them to share or be nearby. Girls and boys sleep separately, and rooms are also divided by age so you can be sure that your child will be sharing with others of the same sex and age group.

We have a mixture of dorms and single rooms

Safety

We want you to sleep well knowing your child is safe with us. We have an excellent safety record. The systems we have in place to ensure safety and security in our summer schools have received praise from parents, staff and visitors.

Pastoral

When they arrive at summer school, each child is introduced to their pastoral leader, who they can talk to at any time if they need any support or advice.

Children have access to computers where (supervised) they can check emails and keep in regular contact with their family

Food

We promote healthy eating at XUK English. Each meal includes:

  • Wholesome main mealVegetarian option
  • Salad/pasta bar
  • Choice of fruit
  • Tasty dessert

Our weekly menu also includes a selection of traditional British food, such as English breakfasts and a Sunday roast.

Star Student

Every week, our staff vote for the camper who embodies everything we love about XUK English. The ‘Star Student’ will have worked hard, improved their English and be helpful, fun, caring and enthusiastic all week long. And you’ll love it if your child wins because we’ll invite them back to camp next year for one week free of charge!
