Camp Diaries - February 2024
Pippa's Camp Diaries
Dear Parents and Guardians...
We are delighted to be hosting our 2024 half term camps at the world famous Rugby School. The excellent facilities and quality boarding houses provide the perfect setting for Pippa’s Camps.
This year, February half term for many schools, and the start of our camp was on Chinese New Year’s eve so we had a special dinner prepared for students upon their arrival and a Chinese New Year theme to many of our activities, allowing our Chinese students to celebrate and our other students to learn about the Chinese culture.
Day One
As students began to arrive for their first evening at camp, we prepared a Chinese New Year dinner for students to enjoy whilst watching the New Year’s Gala.
Students then spent time enjoying the boarding house facilities and getting to know each other.
Day Two
Whilst our camps help students maximise every study opportunity, we do also recognise the importance of rest and relaxation to aid successful learning. On weekend mornings students can remain in their bedrooms if they wish. Some of our students studied in their bedrooms, some socialised with their friends and others simply had a lie in, ready to focus in the afternoon study and activity sessions.
Every afternoon we offer students a choice of activities if they wish to take a break from their school work. Saturday afternoon’s choices were badminton, volleyball, lantern making and cookery – making delicious Chinese dumplings. Study sessions are also available for those wanting to focus on school work. After supper we celebrated with fireworks and games and the Pippa’s team handed our red envelopes (a Chinese tradition) as a gift to all our students.
Day Three
On Sunday morning, a few students were up early and enjoyed a morning swim at the school sports centre. Friendships have already began to form and students were meeting to play games in the boarding house.
After lunch many of our students joined our excursion to Rugby to visit the local shops and see more of the school campus and the town centre.
Sunday evening’s entertainment was team competitions and games including the peanut race – a challenge to pick up as many peanuts with chopsticks as possible in the quickest time, pong – bouncing a ping pong ball into cups and Mahjong.
Day Four
On Monday morning our camp tutors were at the study centre providing academic consultations and 1:1 support in mathematics, maths, physics, chemistry and biology.

On Tuesday morning students could request 1:1 time with our tutors if they wanted help in Maths, Science, English, French or Spanish. Alternatively, those who wanted a break from their studying could enjoy the gym and fitness suite.
Pippa’s University Advisor, James Harding, hosted an optional seminar for students interested in applying to UK universities. Topics included writing a personal statement, choosing the best university and the application process.
Later than day we had a choice of sports, and a cartoon artist teaching our students drawing techniques with a chinese new year theme.
In the evening students could enjoy lane swimming in the school pool or take part in our musical bingo quiz.

Maths tuition was available on Wednesday morning or self study and revision sessions for many of our students who have been very dedicated to their school work.
We held a mindfulness session in the morning consisting of pottery painting and then a trip to the gym for those who wanted to keep fit.
An optional excursion to Birmingham was available for students who wanted to do some shopping or continue the Chinese new year celebrations in Birmingham’s vibrant Chinese Quarter.
Most of our students attended this trip, so in the evening we relaxed with a valentine’s day movie night with popcorn.
Day Seven
On Thursday morning, Science, English French and Spanish tutors were available to students.
There was also a seminar by James Copeland-Jordan, the Head of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at Cheltenham College.
The seminar explored the STEAM disciplines, what you need to know, what you need to do to get ahead and how you can ensure you are best prepared for your future in the STEAM fields.
Mr Copeland-Jordan then spent the afternoon at camp for 1:1 sessions with students who wanted personal advice and consultations relating to the STEAM subjects.
For other students there were a choice of sports including football, basketball, swimming and dodgeball as well as a fitness class by a full qualified British Triathlon coach.
Day Eight
Friday was the last day with our camp tutors so students made the most of the opportunity to seek assistance with their studies.
Later in the morning, students feeling energetic headed over to the fitness gym.
A choice of activities was on offer for the afternoon, tennis, art, badminton and netball or the study centre remained open for those wishing to carry on with school work.
Day Nine
Our final day at camp. We have worked hard, played hard and made some great friends. Rugby School was an excellent venue and we are thrilled to be returning here in May for the next camp.
Our final day was quite relaxing so students could return to school refreshed. Swimming was available in the morning followed by an excursion in to Rugby for the afternoon.
In the evening students played games with their new friends and packed up ready to depart the next morning back to their schools.
We hope to see you all in May!
May Half Term Camp
Pippa's Camp Diaries
Dear Parents and Guardians...
The Pippa’s Camps team arrived at Sherborne International School to glorious sunshine where they eagerly awaited the students arrivals.
The camp is organised by Camp Director Louise Hughes (centre) Camp Coordinator Jodie Godliman (right) and Chinese Liaison Officer Eden Yang (left).
The majority of our students attending this camp are preparing for GCSE, A level or Common Entrance examinations as so the focus is heavily on study and revision this time around. We have a variety of excellent tutors onsite to support students during this important time in the academic year.
Day One
We kicked off the first day of our half term camp with a study skills workshop which was led by Mr Adib Badri from Eton College.
This interactive workshop looked at:
How to be an effective learner
How and when to revise
Successful study techniques
Later in the day we headed over to the classrooms for self study sessions. Those who wanted to take a break from study, joined a game of football and basketball.
After supper, some students retired to their bedrooms for online lessons or further revision, others took advantage of some social time, competing in a table tennis tournament.
Day Two
Whilst our camps help students maximise every study opportunity, we do also recognise the importance of rest and relaxation to aid successful learning. On Sunday morning students could therefore remain in their bedrooms during the morning if they wished. Some of our students studied in their bedrooms, some enjoyed basketball in the sunshine, whilst others simply had a lie in, ready to focus in the afternoon study sessions.
Every afternoon we offer students a choice of activities if they wish to take a break from their school work. Sunday afternoon’s choices were indoor climbing, football, art (glass painting) and badminton.
Later in the evening, our students divided into teams to compete in a scavenger hunt, using their problem solving skills to race to the finish.
Day Three
On Monday morning our camp tutors arrived in the study centre ready to support our students. Academic consultations were available for mathematics, french, spanish, arabic, german, physics, chemistry and biology.
Our choice of activities for the afternoon included swimming, basketball, netball and tag rugby. Although many of our hardworking students opted to remain in the study centre.
Day Four
Our camp tutors returned to the study centre providing academic consultations and 1:1 support in mathematics, english, french, spanish, arabic, german, physics, chemistry and biology.
Our choice of activities for the afternoon included tennis, badminton, gym, climbing and music practice. Students were also able to remain in the study centre and revise if they wanted to.
In the evening, our students cooled off from the sunny weather with an ice cream and movie night.
Day Five
Our camp tutors returned to the study centre providing academic consultations and 1:1 support in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
After our morning study sessions, some of our students joined a guided tour of Sherborne Abbey. A beautiful and historic building founded in 705AD. We then enjoyed an ice cream before heading back to camp.
We also had a cookery and biscuit decorating class with some tasty treats for all the students to enjoy.
Day Six
Our students have been making the most of the camp tutors. From revision of tricky subjects, past papers and proof reading to conversation practice and essay writing.
Many students joined our optional shopping trip today to Clarks village where they also enjoyed ice creams and bubble tea.
It was a warm evening so we had lots of fun playing water dodgeball outside on the lawn.
Day Seven
Science tuition was available for students during their final study session as this was by far the most popular subject requested during camp. Academic consultations and past papers were available all morning.
In the afternoon students who were not studying played netball or enjoyed a textiles lesson outside on the lawn where they designed and created their own pillowcases. We also had students go to their music centre to practice their instruments.
Day Eight
During our final full day at camp, some students took advantage of a lie in so they could return to school rested. Others who were early risers went to the school gym or studied.
Later that afternoon students played badminton and tennis or showed their talents in an art class.
On Saturday we were celebrating a student’s birthday, so our final evening was a joint farewell and birthday party. We had party games and music in the hall for students with prizes for the winners of the games.
Day Nine
Students bid each other a fond farewell as they departed camp to return to their own schools. New friendships had been formed and we hope they will reunite at the next Pippa’s camp.
February Half Term Camp
Pippa's Camp Diaries
Dear Parents and Guardians...
We are delighted to be hosting another Pippa’s camp. This time at the wonderful Tudor Hall School near Oxford. As students arrived on Friday, it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces as well as some new ones.
My team and I have an exciting programme prepared for your children and will keep you posted with lots of pictures on our social media platforms and through these camp diaries.
Louise Hughes
Camp Director
Day One
As schools closed for the half term break, students were making their way to Tudor Hall for the start of our February half term camp. As students arrived they were shown to their accommodation and spent the afternoon unpacking, relaxing and exploring their home for the next 10 days.
At 6pm, we all headed over to the dining room for supper and a welcome briefing from Camp Director Louise and introductions to the rest of the camp staff.
Day Two
As the first official day of the half term holiday, there were no compulsory activity or study sessions. Students could therefore choose between studying in their bedrooms, relaxing or socialising in the common rooms.
After lunch, students had the choice of football, netball, gym, basketball and studying.
After supper, our evening social event was a “getting to know you” scavenger hunt. Students were given a series of questions that they had to answer. The answers could only be found by talking to their fellow camp mates and staff as each student unknowingly had one answer.
Questions included; Who is the oldest student? Who is a vegetarian? Who has a Canadian passport? Who was born in September?
This got students talking to each other and was a perfect ice breaker to begin the camp.
Day Three
Sunday morning allowed students another chance to relax and rest before study and tutor sessions commenced.
In the afternoon students chose from a variety of activities including badminton, dance, tag rugby or a walk in the fresh air to the local farm shop and cafe. Classrooms were also open for those students who wanted to spend the afternoon studying or practicing music.
Our evening social event was a music quiz. All of our students were very good at the quiz and determining a winner was very tricky as we had a number of students with the same number of points at the end. After holding tie breakers with fellow students shouting and cheering, we settled on two winners, Anton and Ronit – Well done boys!
Day Four
Study and revision started first thing on Morning morning with tutors in Maths and Science on hand for 1:1 consultations or group revision.
After the lunch break, students could choose further study sessions or from the camp activities which included art, rounders, gym or netball.
In the evening we held a mini olympics event where students competed in teams in a series of fun challenges.
Day Five
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Our morning started with tutoring sessions in Science, English, Spanish and French alongside self study and revision.
After lunch students could choose to continue their study, or take part in a valentine’s cookie decorating, badminton or dodgeball.
In the evening we held a valentine’s disco with lots of dancing.
Day Six
Tutors in Science joined our morning study sessions to assist students where needed.
After students had completed their self study and revision, some students joined our excursion to Bicester shopping village, others chose to stay on campus and study further or take part in Basketball or Badminton.
Later that day, students relaxed with a movie and pamper night.
Day Seven
Students have now been at the camp a week and very familiar with the routine and the campus.
Tutors in Science, English, Maths, French and Science were available to tutor or assist the students as required.
After lunch, we had a variety of activities available, including art (clay sculpture making) basketball, volleyball, or show practice. Classrooms remained open for those wanting to continue their studies.
In the evening we held a lip sync/ talent show in the hall. Students performed dance routines they had prepared in groups and as solos.
Students watching were very supportive, clapping and cheering on their camp mates as they bravely took to the stage.
Day Eight
Students made the most of their final day with our tutors, booking 1:1 and small group revision sessions.
After lunch we held further study sessions as well as a cookery class, dodgeball and gym activities.
After supper we held a games night for students in the common room.
Day Nine
Our final day of camp before students depart and return home to their schools. The day started with rest and relaxation in their boarding houses so that students could feel refreshed before restarting classes at school.
In the afternoon we offered study sessions, an outdoor walk and badminton.
Later in the evening, we held a farewell party before students packed their suitcases ready to depart.
Heading home for Christmas
Heading home for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
It is so wonderful to see so many of our students heading home for the Christmas break. It was only a few years ago that students couldn’t get home for the holidays due to the Covid pandemic, so we are pleased that this year so many students are able to get home to spend some time with their families.
At Pippa’s Guardians we pride ourselves on the fact that, when possible, we will be there in person for our students as they travel home. Our Area Managers, host families and network of chaperones are on hand to assist and to allay any worries students might be feeling about their journeys.
Some students are naturally nervous about flying so far alone, and for some it will be their first experience of flying without a guardian. So we were pleased to be able to support many of them as they boarded their plane home for Christmas. Then we enjoy following up to make sure our students have been met safely at the other end. We now look forward to welcoming our students back in the new year, after a well-earned rest.
Here are a few photos of students preparing to enjoy their Christmas holidays, whether that means getting home, or making plans for staying in the UK.
Area Manager Michelle recently enjoyed the Godstowe School carol concert, after which she collected student Nico from her boarding house. Nico then spent a lovely day with Michelle and her daughter, and later that evening Michelle accompanied Nico to the airport so that she could catch her flight back to Japan.

Mido used the school transport service to get to Heathrow airport from Malvern St James Girls’ School, however, this meant she arrived at terminal 3 at lunchtime, but her flight was from terminal 4 at 9pm. Pippa’s Guardians Managing Director Ben accompanied her to the correct terminal and waited with her until she was able to check in for her flight that evening.

Ren, who studies at Windlesham House School, flew home to Tokyo for Christmas just after his 13th birthday, where his Mum was excited to meet him at the airport. They sent this wonderful picture to their Pippa’s Area Manager Anne-Marie to let her know Ren arrived safely and they were happily reunited.

Students Sakura and Yurika are studying in the UK for a year and were recently introduced to their host family, who they will be staying with over the Christmas break. The host family have planned a festive trip to London to see the sights, a living nativity with carols at Ludlow Castle, and a gala dinner at Netley Hall in Shrewsbury for Christmas Day (with stuffed quail as one of the starters!). Sakura is a runner, so is keen to take part in a park run in Ludlow, as well as visiting her local friends that she has made. Yurika is going on a trip to Germany with some school friends for first few days of holidays, which Area Manager Gilly Hartley has helped her to arrange.

It is not easy for our international students to take a short trip to Paris, as this requires a Schengen VISA. To apply, parents often seek the help of a VISA specialist to help compile the vast amount of documentation required. Once completed, the student must go to the VISA centre in London, accompanied by their Guardian. This process was something Area Manager, Sarah Davies from Cheltenham, was so pleased to be able to help her student with, enabling a family trip to Paris for Christmas. This is something the family had always wanted to do, so we wish them a wonderful holiday.

Chaperone Nick recently accompanied Lillian from Sherborne Girls to Heathrow, to ensure that Lillian could safely catch her flight home.

Haileybury student Valerie had never flown on her own before so was understandably a bit nervous. Pippa’s Guardians Managing Director Ben stayed close by during check in so that she felt more confident and was able to pass through security and board her flight home.

更多付出和努力
在英国学习的签证有时候会非常棘手，如果学生在学生签证开始日期之前以游客身份入境，那么学校可能会要求学生离境，重新进入英国激活签证和在签注上盖章。为了完成该入境程序，学生就需要离开英国，到境外进行短暂旅行，然后重新返回英国。
这种情况就发生了Tina身上，Tina就读于索尔兹伯里( Salisbury )的戈多尔芬学校( Godolphin school )。她在她的培宝区域经理Rose的陪同下完成了一次短暂的巴黎之行。虽然这不在我们作为培宝监护人的正常职责范围内，但我们始终致力于在学生留学过程的各个方面为他们提供支持，并在力所能及的情况下提供帮助。
我们始终坚持“多走一英里（即更多的付出和努力）”的工作方式。所以，这一次我们的一位区域经理就真的“走了”几百英里！
与其把这次旅行当成一个行政任务，她俩决定倒不如把它变成一次教育体验，那么，她们能在这么短的时间内看到和体验多少东西呢？
她们乘火车从索尔兹伯里前往伦敦，然后登上前往巴黎的欧洲之星，晚上七点前抵达巴黎。在火车上，Tina说了她 A level 艺术课程的学习，因此Rose帮她定到了卢浮宫的门票，放下行李后，她们步行到巴黎市区，步入了这座令人惊叹的博物馆和艺术馆。Tina拍摄了她目前正在学习的艺术家的雕塑和绘画作品，当然还看了了世界上最顶级的画作《蒙娜丽莎》。
当天的夜晚皓月当空，是一轮满月，因此，在受到奇妙的艺术启发后，Tina拍了一张令人惊叹的“丰收之月”的 照片。
从卢浮宫出来后还有时间，她们就去埃菲尔铁塔，由于当晚天气温暖，很多人都出来欣赏夜景，10 点钟的时候，铁塔开始闪耀起令人眩目的灯光秀，这又是一个即壮观又特别的时刻。
周六早上，她们在一家咖啡馆吃了法国传统早餐，看着外面的人来人往，享受着人间烟火，这可是巴黎地道的消遣方式。然后，她们去传统商店里逛了一圈，Rose还教了Tina一些有用的法语，尤其是在糕点店，Tina决定挑战一下，带着法棍面包和传统马卡龙回学校！
爬完台阶后，城市美景尽收眼底。她们正好有足够的时间去参观圣心大教堂。
最后，是时候返回车站乘坐欧洲之星回程了，当然也是时候在Tina的护照上盖章并激活她的签证了。
法国首都之行虽然短暂，但Tina看到了一些杰出的艺术作品，学习了一点法语，置身于一些标志性建筑之间，并留下了终生难忘的回忆。
我们很高兴能够帮助Tina的签证事宜，同时还让她享受到了法国艺术和文化带来的乐趣。
（法国万岁）
