Sport, adventure and multi-activity summer courses

Activity-led courses make the most of school sports facilities and the countryside: team sports, swimming, climbing, outdoor adventure and excursions, usually alongside English lessons.

They suit younger students and anyone for whom confidence and friendships matter as much as lessons.

86 courses at 58 schools, 77 with confirmed 2027 dates; weekly course fees from about £455 to £3,938.
