English - Summer - Young Learners and Teens - Hurstpierpoint

A General English course taught on the Hurst College campus. Students sit a placement test on arrival and finish with a course certificate and a written report. The daily timetable prints lesson slots at half past nine, half past eleven and two in the afternoon, the last of which alternates with a house meeting; the rest of the day belongs to the activity programme.

The fee covers the placement test, the General English course with certificate and report, full board and accommodation on campus, laundry service, twenty-four hour support, the daily activity programme with weekly tournaments, discos and talent shows, and one full-day and one half-day excursion each week. Student travel insurance is included for direct enrolments. Airport transfers are not included and most students need one; the school publishes a price for each London airport.

All accommodation is on the Hurst College campus, which the school treats as part of its supervision as well as a convenience. Girls and boys live in separate houses, with trained house managers and house assistants living in the houses themselves. Rooms are single, twin, triple and four-bed, along with dormitories of no more than six beds, all with shared bathrooms. Requests to share a room or for a particular allocation are met subject to availability, and the campus is patrolled at night.

Three meals a day, cooked and served in the on-site refectory, with two refreshment breaks for students who are on campus. Packed lunches are provided twice a week for excursion days. Special diets can be requested.

A daily activity programme that students sign up to three times a day, with weekly tournaments, discos and talent shows every second week. Sport uses the campus sports hall and the indoor swimming pool. Each week brings one full-day and one half-day excursion to towns and cities around the south of England.

The course runs on the campus of Hurst College in Hurstpierpoint, a village in West Sussex between Brighton and the South Downs. On campus there is an indoor swimming pool, a fully equipped sports hall, an IT suite, a student common room in every house, a refectory, and WiFi across most of the site.

A campus summer school where lessons, meals, activities and sleeping quarters are all inside the same grounds, so younger students are supervised throughout the day. House managers and assistants live in the houses with the students, support is available around the clock, and the campus is patrolled at night.
