Queen Ethelburgas Summer School 7-17 years

Nestled in over 220 acres of picturesque North Yorkshire countryside, Queen Ethelburga’s has been a vibrant and supportive school community since 1912. This innovative and highly successful school offers first-class teaching in outstanding facilities, creating the perfect setting for students to immerse themselves in English and activity-based programmes.

Students have the opportunity to develop their English language skills, customise their schedules with creative and enriching elective modules, and experience the best of British boarding life at one of the UK’s top independent boarding schools.

After a jam-packed English lesson, Junior students can look forward to an energetic afternoon with the Camp QE staff.

Students will take part in activities such as water sports, footgolf, scavenger hunts, building challenges and much more.

Success is celebrated with end of week events, such as discos and pool parties. Or, if students want something more relaxing, there are activities such as arts and crafts or film nights.
