At Sedbergh International Summer School the project based curriculum provides a minimum of 15 hours of English tuition each week, with pupils placed onto the Junior (Ages 8-11) or Senior Course (Ages 12-16).

Formal lessons are timetabled on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings. (Thursdays and Sundays are excursion days).  Active Communication is encouraged throughout the course and language skills continue to develop as  pupils take part in a wide and varied range of excursions and activities. Speaking, listening and reading skills are continually assessed and improved alongside their general comprehension and understanding of English grammar.

Sedbergh School values the importance of community engagement.  Regular conversation with the local British people will help to develop your spoken English.   

Pupils will have the opportunity to engage with the local and wider communities, visiting neighbouring towns and engaging in specific activities that have been developed to encourage pupils to practice their newly acquired language skills.  

London Experience

An exciting 3-day adventure through the heart of London

Each day will be filled with must-see attractions and some all important shopping time.

The trip wraps up with a visit to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter, before travelling to Sedbergh to continue the Summer School journey, joining the English + Multi-Activities programme for the remainder of the week.

Pupils will travel by coach to Sedbergh where all children will take part in a multi activities course. For their second week children will then enrol on their chosen programme of:

English + Multi Activities
English + Outdoor Adventure
Leadership Programme

Please note all activities, accommodation, meals and transfers from London Heathrow and the coach journey to Sedbergh are included in the fees. 

Leadership & International Relations  Academy (LIRA)

LIRA is a transformative, 2-week development programme for 14-17 year olds.

Leadership develops through a combination of knowledge, tools and experience.

Designed as a progressive curriculum that continuously stretches the pupils in a supportive and encouraging environment, the LIRA programme enables young people to learn, explore and practice the foundations of how to lead themselves and others through personal coaching, experiential learning and excursions.

Thought provoking and fully interactive, programme content is delivered using in-person priming sessions followed by individual and group exercises, all of  which focus and relate back to our four themes: leading; caring; connecting; exploring.
