On-site Activities & Academies
At Bede’s Summer School, we believe that students learn just as much outside of the classroom as they do inside of it. Our on-site activity programme is key to this approach. Students will enjoy a wide range of engaging activities that make the most of the high-quality facilities available at all Bede’s Summer School sites. Bede’s Summer School understands that all students have different interests. With that in mind, our programmes are designed to have something for everyone that works to the social and cultural benefit of our students combining sports, arts and crafts and challenging competitions. Each of our boarding school summer centres has an on-site indoor swimming pool, sports hall and fields, as well as multi-purpose indoor spaces for showcases and workshops to host the wide array of activities that students will enjoy. Our superb sites allow us to offer varied and exciting activities and evening events in first-class surroundings.
Academies offer professional tuition in a range of sports, leisure pursuits, creative activities and academic subjects, and are designed to increase students’ skills, technique and knowledge. Our portfolio of optional Academies perfectly exemplifies our approach towards student-centred learning and programme design. Each student can customise their experience at Bede’s with the opportunity to extend and expand their learning in and out of the classroom in small, supervised groups under expert tuition. Academies can bring many benefits to the students, such as stimulating their creativity, expanding their capacity for reflection and helping them to develop their critical thinking skills. Some raise students’ fitness levels and ability, while others help students to improve their self-confidence by challenging them to step outside of their comfort zone. Every Academy, whether it be a sport, creative activity, leisure pursuit or academic subject, will help students to develop their communication skills, confidence in speaking and fluency.
