Sidcot School works closely with Academic Summer, an organisation that provides short language development courses at the school during the summer holidays. Academic Summer offers a unique day or boarding programme for overseas and British students aged 7 to 18.
What Is Academic Summer?
Academic Summer provides an exciting and varied academic programme that’s designed to enrich all students, whether they’re from the UK or overseas. Whether you’re an international or British student, you’ll find a wide choice of academic subjects on offer via this varied international summer school.
You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with fellow students outside of the classroom, develop your English language skills, and visit places around the UK. It’s a great way to spend the summer in between school years, or to get to know your fellow students before joining Sidcot for the first time.
Academic Summer values discovery and exploration, and aims to equip you with essential study skills to enrich your learning.
