During
the high season, there is a programme of activities and excursions
offered to adult students - all are optional and you only pay if you
choose to take part. During the week there will be at least 2 afternoon
trips/activities, 2 evening trips/activities and one full day trip
at the weekend. There is also an optional orientation walk on the
first day.
The
school's summer activities programme is carefully chosen to give a
balance of sightseeing, sports and social events. The school offers
a wide range of supervised activities, many designed to encourage
further English practice, in the afternoons, evenings and at weekends.
Some are organised by the school, others are organised by reliable
and experienced tour-guides. Some activities will be free - for example
the welcome evening and weekly football.
During
the low season, although there isn't a full programme offered, there
is at least one full day excursion per week. Half-day trips, afternoon/evening
activities are also offered frequently. Football is played most Sundays
during the year. We also have a pub lunch with adult students on many
Fridays during the low season.
Activities
can also be arranged on request.
