English + Multi-Sports at Sedbergh

English tuition follows a project-based curriculum with a minimum of fifteen hours each week. Pupils are placed onto the Junior Course for ages eight to eleven or the Senior Course for ages twelve to sixteen. Classes are kept to a maximum of fifteen students, with an upper limit of twenty, and the teaching ratio is one to fifteen. The activity programme alongside the lessons is built around sport.

The weekly cost of the course covers all accommodation, meals, English lessons, all sports and activities, excursions, internet access and a laundry service. Airport transfers are not included and are listed separately under extras.

The course is fully residential. Boys and girls are accommodated in separate boarding houses, each supervised by a Houseparent. Single bedrooms are available alongside dormitories sleeping two to four pupils. Bed linen and bath towels are provided, and a full laundry service runs twice weekly.

Full board is provided throughout the stay, and all meals are included in the course fee.

The emphasis of this course is on sport. Pupils use the school facilities and sample a range of different sports, led by the activity staff, whether competitively or just for fun. The course is designed for pupils who enjoy staying active and working in teams. Excursions are included in the course fee.

Pupils live and study on the Sedbergh School campus in Cumbria. The site provides boarding houses, classrooms, a sports hall, outdoor playing fields, swimming facilities, a student lounge and games areas, with internet access throughout and an on-site laundry service.

Sedbergh sits among the fells of Cumbria, and the summer school uses both the campus and the country around it. Pupils from more than twenty countries live together in boarding houses under Houseparent care, mixing English lessons with a week built around sport.
