Royal Russell, with its beautiful 110-acre campus, is a new location for 2024 and a fifth boarding school in Bede’s portfolio. Given its close proximity to London and the green surroundings, the two programmes run there - the well-received English for the Future and a new London Explorers addition, will give the students a real sense of freedom and connection to nature, as well as a unique opportunity to explore London and the capital city. 

‘I am delighted to be able to extend the offer of our exceptional Bede’s Summer School programmes in a brilliant school like Royal Russell. The sports, boarding and beauty of the facilities are of outstanding quality, and I hope our students, parents and agents, as well as our brilliant summer staff, will be thrilled by this exciting development,’ says Ryan Edwards, Director of Bede’s Summer School. 

Easter Plus is yet another added venture for students wanting to learn English and explore the UK outside of the summer. Running from the wonderful Bede’s Dicker School between the 24th March and 13th April 2024, it will welcome students between the ages of 10 and 17 for an Easter Programme jam-packed with activities and full-day trips giving students an unforgettable learning experience.

A new Zoology & Animal Management course will also run at Dicker for an exclusive 2-week period, taking advantage of the access to Bede’s Zoo, a truly unique facility which gives unprecedented chance to students interested in Veterinary Studies and Zookeeping to immerse themselves in caring for as many as 70 different species. 

Bede’s Summer School is adding new Academies to their varied offer, this time younger students will get the chance to explore the world of LEGO with Coding, and creative teenagers will be able to learn the tricks of Drawing & Painting and Pottery & Ceramics, and sport lovers will be able to improve their Rugby Skills. 

‘We hope that our new courses will not only appeal to our returning students and offer them more choice,’ says Alicja Penrose, Operations and Academic Manager, ‘but also attract new students who are looking for boutique, high quality summer programmes like ours.’ 

Established in 1993, Bede’s Summer School offers bespoke summer course for international students aged 6 to 20 at six locations across the South East of England, is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK, is a member of Quality English and English UK , and has been named as a Centre of Excellence by the EL Gazette since 2013.
