This summer we are introducing the following new programs. At this stage we would like to know if you might be interested. Your feedback will help us plan and design these courses.

If you think you might be interested click on the following:

Science of Flight/Learn to fly
The Dyslexia program
The Shakespeare Program
The Eden Project

A 2-day or 6-day program with an opportunity to fly a light aircraft. The program will include seminars and workshops on the science of flight.
2-day program – intro to science of flight + 1 session flying a light aircraft.
6-day program – full science of flight course + 2 session flying a light aircraft + 1 session in a large passenger jet flight simulator.

A 2-day or 6-day program combining seminars, workshops, small group and 1-to-1 tuition, to help dyslexic students make the most of their abilities and to learn how successfully to cope with their problem areas. The program will also include some diagnostic tests to help students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses – this is not a formal assessment but rather a tool to help students develop various learning strategies. Also, of course, this will provide an environment where dyslexics are in the majority and problems can be shared and understood.

Approximate cost: 2 days - £295; 6 days - £875

A 2-day or 6-day course for all student who wish to explore Shakespeare in more depth.
2-day course – a trip to either Stratford-on-Avon or The Globe to see a play + workshops and seminars + introduction to Shakespeare lectures.
