Who is the programme for?

• Children aged 5 to 10

With the course + activities option, afternoons are filled with supervised sports, games, creative workshops and group projects, plus organised local excursions suitable for young children.

Safe, caring and fully supervised

Children are supervised throughout the day, during lessons, breaks, activities and excursions. Our teachers and activity staff are experienced in working with young learners, and our welfare team is on hand to support children who feel unwell or homesick. Parents can stay in contact with their children throughout the programme.

Why families choose Bristol

Bristol is a lively, family-friendly city with plenty to see and do, from the harbourside and museums to green parks. It is a great place for children to experience British culture while they learn.
