Location: Centre of English Studies (CES) - Summer Centre Worthing is located on the outskirts of the seaside town of Worthing, along the south coast of England, at the foot of the South Downs. Housed within Worthing College, in a modern school with spacious facilities and large surrounding grounds, the school is inland from the coastline, around a 15-minute journey via public transport. The school is around a 45-minute journey from London Gatwick and a 90-minute journey from London Heathrow. There is a direct train line from London Gatwick Airport to Worthing.
Social and cultural: These summer programmes are suitable for students aged 12-17 years and are inclusive of afternoon and evening activities and weekend excursions.
Afternoon and evening activities may include discos, fun Olympics, sports on campus, arts & crafts, speed friending, quizzes, and a half-day tour to Chichester. Group work, projects, debates and games are included daily also.
Excursions may include the many trips to Portsmouth Harbour and Gunwarf Quay and tours of London.
School facilities: The school facilities are fantastic, including an art & crafts centre, over 30 bright and spacious classrooms, multimedia capabilities and internet, and four full-size football or rugby playing fields.
Accommodation: Accommodation is available in a homestay with local families. Room types are based on shared rooms within a 20-minute walk or private transfer of the school. Daily private transfers are included between the homestay and the school.
