Exsportise is the UK's number-one residential summer camp for English plus Sports, as ranked by El Gazette and The British Council. We put students first with a 1-to-4 staff-to-student ratio, individualised learning, and accredited English teachers alongside professional sports coaches. Students join an Olympic Village-style community of over 85 nationalities, with on-site medical officers and a dedicated welfare manager ensuring student wellbeing.
All of our residential UK summer camps are fully inclusive, with tuition, sports coaching, accommodation, meals, standard transfers, and full welfare support all covered in one weekly fee with no hidden costs.
The majority of our UK summer school camps require an intermediate level of English language experience. However, we offer one programme with two dynamic, active English Language Pathways that are designed to support students at all language levels from A1 to C2, from complete beginners through to advanced learners. Each pathway aims to help students achieve their academic goals.
Our English + Sport programme combines 15 hours of accredited English Language tuition with 15 hours of sports coaching per week. Our Sport Only programme combines 30 hours of coaching and sports workshops per week. Students can choose to do either one sport for 30 hours or combine two sports with 15 hours each per week.
Haileybury School is a prestigious independent school set within 500 acres of picturesque parkland in Hertfordshire, just 20 miles north of Central London. It is our specialist Arsenal Football Development venue, known for its academic heritage and elite sports facilities. Due to its immaculate football pitches, the school is often used by Premier League Academies, including Arsenal FC, making it an ideal choice for our Arsenal UK Soccer Camps during the summer.
Haileybury School offers two Arsenal Soccer camp options. The English + Arsenal Football option includes 15 hours of English tuition per week with British Council accreditation and 15 hours of Arsenal Football Development coaching per week, typically with English in the morning and football in the afternoon. The Football Only option is designed for students passionate about a single sport and includes 30 hours of intensive football coaching per week, with additional workshops and analysis sessions.
The programmes at Haileybury School are designed for boys aged 9 to 15. It is a boys-only venue
At the heart of the Arsenal Football summer camp programme is the Strong Young Gunner model, focusing on four key areas: becoming effective team players, efficient movers, lifelong learners, and developing a champion mentality. All sessions are led by UEFA-qualified Arsenal Head Coaches who adapt the programme to each age group and ability level. Through tailored drills, small-sided games, and match play in ability groups, students learn the same techniques, skills, and Game IQ taught at Arsenal's Hale End Academy.
Students stay in high-quality student residences in secure on-site boarding houses with a dedicated house parent to look after their wellbeing. Most rooms have one or two beds, with a few rooms of four to eight beds for younger students, and shared bathrooms. All boarding houses have comfortable social spaces and common rooms where students can relax during free time and in the evening.
This campus has excellent sports facilities including extensive grass football pitches, a sports centre with a double sports hall, and two floodlit Astroturf pitches. Alongside the high-quality sports facilities, there is a spacious EFL centre featuring modern classrooms with interactive whiteboards, a modern theatre, a grand dining hall in the historic main school, and a social centre for relaxation. Wi-Fi is available in some communal areas across the campus.
A two-day cultural excursion package is included in the summer school fee for students staying two or more weeks. Saturday recreational excursions include a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club. Sunday cultural excursions consist of a London walking tour where students can experience famous landmarks including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square. All excursions are fully supervised by experienced staff.
At Exsportise, student safety is the top priority. We maintain an industry-leading staff-to-student ratio of one staff member for every four students. Dedicated House Parents oversee the daily care and well-being of every student, supported by on-site Medical Officers and a specialist Welfare Manager. All staff are trained in Safeguarding, police checked, and many are trained in first aid. We have achieved a British Council area of strength in care of students and safeguarding under 18s, with 5-star Medical care.
