S11 and UVI Summer School 2024

Summer School Activities Senior 11 and Upper Sixth Form Monday 17 June - Friday 29 June

Introducing Summer School 2024

I am delighted to share with you the brochure for this year’s S11 and UVI Summer School.

As ever, the programme of activities is eclectic. There are long-standing staples including car maintenance and wines of South Africa, as well as some exciting new entries for 2024 including Go Karting at Surbiton Raceway, a visit to Tottenham Hotspur FC, and a ‘speedy pasta sauces’ cookery session. Pupils are welcome to sign up for as many options as they wish, but please note that some activities have limited spaces so book early to avoid disappointment!

It promises to be a highly enjoyable two weeks and a great opportunity to unwind and have some fun after the hard graft of public examinations.

Enjoy perusing this brochure and we look forward to seeing you soon.
