Dicker English Plus
Dicker, home of Bede’s Senior School, is based in a small village in the middle of the South Downs, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Designed to reflect the feeling of life in a rural community, the spacious campus offers accommodation for up to 220 students and has five boarding houses that inspire a sense of community and belonging – ideal for both more reserved and confident students. Lessons consist of English Skills, Enrichment and Research Projects. These combine to provide students with a balanced programme of language and academic content, and the opportunity to sharpen their communication and interpersonal skills. The English Plus course also includes afternoon sports and activities as standard. Students can also create a more intensive study programme by choosing to add one Academic Academy per week in Public Speaking and Essay Writing. A range of professional Sport & Adventure and Creative Academies are also available as extras. The evening entertainment programme provides an opportunity for recreation and fun and is designed to immerse students in the English language and culture in a stimulating and innovative way. Excursions enable students to enjoy visiting places of interest. These can include a memorable cultural visit to a castle, museum or palace, a visit to a popular tourist attraction such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Madame Tussauds, or something more recreational such as a trip to an aquarium, theme park or zoo.
ACCOMMODATION The Dicker campus has a total of five boarding houses, the largest was built only three years ago and has a capacity of 90 students. All boarding houses are modern, comfortable and have great social spaces for students to enjoy. FACILITIES AT DICKER • All-Weather Sports Pitch • IT Suite • Art Studios
