Earlscliffe is a UNESCO School located in the charming coastal town of Folkestone, just 54 minutes from London and a short walk from the beach and town centre.
Whether your child is preparing for the summer term, getting ready for a new school or simply looking for an international experience during the Easter holidays, the programme combines purposeful learning with plenty of opportunities to explore, create and have fun.
Students are grouped by age and English level, with separate programmes for Juniors aged 8–12 and Seniors aged 13–17.
Morning lessons focus on English language development across speaking, listening, reading and writing. With no more than 12 students in a class, teachers can support students at the right level and encourage everyone to take part.
In the afternoon, students put their English into practice through creative projects including drama, music, film, and arts and crafts. Older and more advanced students may also explore international issues through discussion and debate, giving them opportunities to think critically, communicate their ideas and hear different points of view.
Twenty lessons a week over the Easter holidays at Earlscliffe, in small classes grouped by age and level.
Every evening brings something different. Welcome Games, House Nights, Taskmaster, Bowling, games night, Murder Mystery, Junkbox Challenge, Rock ‘n’ Roll Bingo, Easter Egg Hunt and Leavers’ Disco.

Camp Headington is a welcoming international community where students are encouraged to be curious, try new things and take on challenges together. From their first day, students join an expedition team, make new friends and become part of camp life. Across two action-packed weeks, they build confidence and independence through shared adventures, team challenges and memorable experiences in and beyond Oxford.
Learning at Camp Headington is hands-on, active and built around discovery. Each day starts with a big question before students investigate, experiment, build and test their ideas through practical STEM challenges. They might launch rockets, investigate extreme weather, explore forensic science, design racing machines or discover how nature can inspire new inventions. English is used naturally throughout these experiences as students solve problems, share ideas and work together.

How you'll learn
Every day is carefully structured to spark curiosity, build confidence and create lasting memories, opening with ‘Basecamp’ where the whole camp comes together to prepare for the adventure ahead.
Stage 1
Every morning begins with a big question linked to the day’s theme. Students investigate topics such as the environment, engineering, or meteorology through engaging lessons, discussion and practical activities that encourage curiosity from the very start.
Stage 2
Students dig deeper through enquiry and investigation. Working in groups, they analyse evidence, solve problems and develop ideas together, using English naturally as they discuss, question and collaborate.
Stage 3
Learning moves beyond the classroom as students apply their knowledge through practical challenges, outdoor investigations and fieldwork. Whether collecting data, designing solutions or exploring Oxford, students experience science in action.
Stage 4
Every day ends by bringing learning together. Teams share discoveries, take part in challenges, demonstrate solutions and reflect on what they’ve achieved, celebrating the learning they’ve done that day.
Learning at Camp Headington starts with a challenge. Each themed day introduces a big question before students investigate ideas, experiment and put what they discover into action. From extreme weather and renewable energy to rockets, forensic science and engineering, hands-on STEM activities encourage students to be curious, solve problems and learn by doing.
English is used naturally throughout the experience as students investigate, build, test, discuss and work together. Rather than studying English as a separate subject, students develop their communication through practical challenges and shared adventures with an international group of students.
Adventure Programmes Two weeks building English through science, adventure and the natural world at Camp Headington in Oxford.
More than just fun
Learning continues long after lessons finish. From sport and creative activities to outdoor adventures and evening events, every activity gives students new opportunities to work as a team, try something different and build lasting friendships. It’s all part of the Outdoor Adventurer experience.
No two days at Camp Headington are the same. Students might investigate a zombie outbreak, discover how nature inspires inventions, launch rockets, solve a forensic mystery or build and race their own machine. Each theme combines investigation, experimentation and practical challenges to make STEM active, creative and fun.
Camp Headington takes learning outdoors. Students take on experiences including raft building, bushcraft, climbing and high ropes, alongside excursions in Oxford and London. From working together on the water to exploring science beyond campus, adventure is part of the programme rather than an optional extra.
Every Outdoor Adventurer day begins with a question — and the excursions are where students go looking for the answers. What they investigate in the classroom, they test in the real world: in London’s great museums, and out at an outdoor activity centre near Oxford where the challenge is physical as well as scientific. Ages 10–14, in supervised groups, with staff alongside them throughout.
A day inside one of London's most famous museums. Students explore space, engineering and medicine through hands-on galleries and real objects, connecting what they learn at SBC to the discoveries that shaped the modern world.
A day outdoors taking on high ropes and climbing. Students go at their own pace, supported by their group – designed to develop confidence that only comes from doing something new.
Students work in teams to design and build a raft from the materials they're given. Planning, problem-solving and plenty of laughing — with a real result at the end.
Level up your summer with our optional extras, available at an additional cost with limited spaces, so add them to your package when you book.
Step into a real-life outdoor game. Set in a large woodland site filled with vehicles, buildings and movie-style props, students work in teams to take on missions and outdoor laser gaming challenges. They’ll need to move quickly, plan with their team and adapt as each game unfolds. With no paint and no previous experience needed, it’s an action-packed half-day that brings the excitement of gaming into the outdoors.
At Camp Headington, students live in purpose-built accommodation with single, twin and dorm rooms and shared bathroom facilities. Everyone has their own space to store their belongings.
Staff are available in the accommodation throughout the day and night to provide pastoral support. Each house hosts a communal area where students can play and relax together.
Camp Headington takes place at Headington Prep School in Headington, Oxford. The campus provides a welcoming base for camp life, with teaching spaces, sports and activity facilities and outdoor areas for students to learn, play and spend time together. Its Oxford location also gives students opportunities to explore the city and take part in experiences beyond the campus.

We know that sometimes parents/guardians will want to visit their child while they are at Camp Headington, so we ask that you arrange this via your dedicated Admissions Manager with at least 24 hours’ notice. Where possible we want to make sure that students don’t miss too much of their exciting Summer School day so your Admissions Manager will be able to advise you on the best time to visit.
Camp Headington is delivered in English, so students need enough English to understand instructions, share ideas and take part in activities with other students. We recommend a minimum level of A2. Students do not need to speak English perfectly — the programme gives them plenty of opportunities to use English naturally while working, playing and exploring together.

Is this programme for you?
Students arrive with different interests and ambitions, but many recognise themselves in at least one of these.
You are interested in how people turn an idea into a business, find money for it and help it grow.
You enjoy problems with no single right answer, and you want to see how you act when plans change.
You want to practise presenting, negotiating and answering questions in English, and get better at explaining your ideas to others.

As part of their enriching two-week experience, students will enjoy several excursions designed to complement their academic journey with cultural exploration and relaxation.
These outings offer a well-balanced opportunity to engage with iconic British destinations, providing both stimulating and restorative experiences outside the classroom.
Explore the heart of British government through fieldwork around Westminster. Students investigate Parliament, law, protest, leadership and the different ways people can influence society before seeing London from a different perspective on the London Eye.
Explore the historic charm of Eton, visit the magnificent Windsor Castle, and enjoy some time spent browsing the shops and cafes along Windsor's bustling high street.
Eton College features a blend of buildings that date back to 1441, rich in history. The boarding houses serve as the heart of the experience, fostering our student communities. Students are housed in two separate boarding houses, one for boys and one for girls, each offering single rooms with shared bathrooms.
Both houses provide comfortable social areas where students can unwind during House Time. As an international residential summer school, we collaborate with Eton College but operate our courses independently.
