It runs for four weeks, from 4 July to 1 August 2027, and each week runs Sunday to Sunday. Every week includes 15 hours of English lessons in the mornings.

Sport, evenings and Saturday trips
Afternoons are for sport, led by specialist coaches. Students use the school’s heated 25-metre pool, indoor sports halls, tennis courts and football pitches, and there are taster sessions in golf and sailing. Evenings are spent in the boarding house with quizzes, challenges and talent shows. On Saturdays there is a full-day trip, alternating each week between Warwick Castle and the National Space Centre.
Boarding and supervision
Students live in boarding houses in single or twin rooms with shared bathrooms, grouped by age and gender. Each house has its own chef and dining room, and all meals are included. Vegetarian, vegan and halal diets and most diagnosed allergies can be catered for. Houseparents live in the house and are on hand 24 hours a day, and there is one member of staff for every eight students during activities. Bedrooms, classrooms, sports fields and the pool are a short supervised walk apart. Laundry is done once a week.
Getting there
Free shuttles run on Sundays from Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, London St Pancras (for Eurostar) and SKOLA Regent’s Park, for arrivals and departures within set time windows. Outside those times a private transfer can be booked from £175 each way. Students aged 10 to 14 can also combine a day course at SKOLA Regent’s Park in London with a residential stay at Uppingham.
