Lord Wandsworth College Update

After much discussion, we have decided not to open our junior summer camp at Lord Wandsworth College this year.  This has been a very difficult decision but with the ongoing uncertainty about which nationalities will be able to enter the UK and when we feel unable to plan properly and fear that the quality of our provision may be affected if we have to wait for a last-minute decision. For us, the most important thing is to be able to offer a quality product to our clients.

However, our summer camp Lord Wandsworth College will be back in 2022 with increased capacity and some exciting new courses.

In the meantime, we still have 4 great options for young learners this summer in the UK, France and online:

• Juniors in Wimbledon
• English in France
• Virtual Summer Camp
• Summer Family Programme

 

 

We are delighted that, for summer 2021, we are offering you a choice of experiences; for a feeling of what it is like to stay at a British boarding school, you can choose our Summer Centre at beautiful Lord Wandsworth College.
