Bloxham School, a traditional, independent boarding school that was founded in 1860.
Bloxham is a fantastic location for a summer school. Set in a picture-perfect village in northern Oxfordshire and near the quaint market town of Banbury and historic Oxford.
The campus provides a very safe environment for students, situated
on the edge of the stunning Cotswolds in 60 acres of beautiful grounds.
Bloxham is well situated for Birmingham and Heathrow airports.
About 50 miles northwest of London and world famous for its academia par excellence, Oxford is an exceptional city that has practically everything, from tranquil colleges, grand buildings and superlative libraries. When walking about town, you cannot but sense the aura of world-renowned universities and intellectual prowess. Oxford has a soul which must be discovered on foot. Otherwise you might fail to appreciate the charm that this town has. Worthwhile is a visit to Blenheim Palace, home of the Duke of Marlborough and where Sir Winston Churchill once resided. Not forgetting Warwick Castle, one of England’s most splendid medieval buildings.
Besides traditional architecture and history, Oxford provides amenities and facilities for the now. At short distances from each other in the centre, are all the major department stores that can cater to the needs of even the most demanding shopper!
Oxford has been a seat of knowledge for over seven centuries and its heritage continues.
Residential accommodation is in one of the college’s eight comfortable, single sex boarding houses. Each house has its own character with a mixture of modern and more traditional buildings. There are comfortable twin rooms for older students and small dormitory or multi-bedded rooms for our younger students.
All of the boarding houses have a variety of rooms and spacious common areas to relax. The common rooms have lots of things for students to enjoy, such as tennis table, football table , a TV and DVD player. Houses are single sex, but students can meet one another in the shared common areas. Each house has a fully equipped kitchen, where students can share an evening snack and use their English to socialise with international housemates.
Meal plan: The programme offers three meals daily (breakfast, lunch and dinner) at the University restaurant. It’s self-service. On the day of the full-day excursion breakfast and dinner will be offered at the restaurant and lunch will be provided as packed.
A full and varied programme of sports, cultural and art activities takes place in the campus areas. This is another great opportunity for students to use the English language and also to have fun and get to know their peers from other countries. The social programme is organised by the staff of the organisation and includes sports, team games (quiz nights, disco parties and treasure hunt) and cultural outings so get ready to party & fun!
The programme rounds off with one full-day excursion in London, Oxford, Windsor and two half day visits every week in Stratford-upon-Avon. In London, students explore the capital's most famous sights, visit the world-renowned British Museum and go souvenir shopping in Covent Garden. Students go rowing and witness the changing of the guard in Royal Windsor and learn about the university's historic colleges in Oxford. Our students learn all about Shakespeare's life, works and the history of the market town on their guided tour of Stratford-upon-Avon.
