We have an engaging programme of both daytime and evening activities with the aim of entertaining students outside of class time. There will also be one half-day excursion per week to various locations such as Hastings and Seven Sisters Country Park. These excursions enable students to explore a wider reach of the UK and experience British culture on a greater scale. We encourage students to practise their English by talking to the new friends they have made on the programme as well as staff and people they meet on their travels.
