Location
We have chosen Rugby School, a leading boarding and day school in Warwickshire for our upcoming camps.
The school was founded in 1567 and is one of the oldest independent schools in Britain. It has a long history of providing outstanding academic results and co-curricular activities. In 2022, 83% of grades at both GCSE and A level were A*-A.
The campus offers a safe environment with quality sports, music and learning facilities. We have single and double occupancy rooms available.
Transport
In order to help your child to travel to the camp, cost effective shared transport will be arranged from local transport hubs where possible, subject to geographical demand. Final details of travel options and costs will be provided closer to the time.
The programme
Study and revision sessions Every weekday morning, students must attend a study session or mindfulness activity. During the study sessions, students can practice past exam papers, request a personalised consultation with a tutor in one of our drop in sessions, or take part in a group revision class. Tutors for Mathematics, Science and English will be available. Additional Tutors will be organised if other subjects are popular amongst students at the camp.
Students who have online tuition booked during the half term will be offered a private room for their lessons to ensure they are not disturbed.
Supervised classrooms are also available in the afternoons for students who wish to study or revise independently instead of taking part in a sport or activity.
All bedrooms include a desk and study space for students who have online lessons or want to study in the evenings or early mornings.
Morning activities
As an alternative to morning study, there will be a selection of activities to help ease stress, soothe anxiety and help students be more present and engaged in life.
These activities include art, music, meditation, yoga, walking, gardening, dance, puzzles and crafting.
Afternoon activities
We encourage students to take regular breaks from their study. Every afternoon and evening an activity/social programme will therefore be available
should students wish to unwind or keep fit.
