Culford is a beautiful school built on the estate of Culford Hall. It is set in 480 acres of stunning grade 1 parkland and is a safe and secure location. The combination of modern and historic buildings with excellent sports facilities make Culford an ideal location for a summer English course for teens.

Students on the Culford Teens course study 20 full hours of English lessons each week. There are afternoon and evening activities on offer each day and a full day trip to London and Cambridge.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are taken in the dining hall where a good variety of meals are offered (packed lunches are given to students on excursion days).

Culford school boasts excellent sports facilities and students are able to make use of these during their course.

Performance tennis

Students who are play tennis can book our performance tennis module; this includes coaching with a qualified tennis instructor.

Students will use the world class tennis facilities on site at Culford school.

The option includes a total of eight one hour tennis classes during the two week course. These will take place during the afternoons and evenings, when other students are participating in the normal activity programme. Students taking the performance tennis option will still be able to participate in the excursions.

We also offer a course for Young Learners aged 10-13 at Culford. Groups with some students on each course are welcome to join the programmes. View the Young Learner course details here.
