Summer at Worthgate School is more than just a season—it’s a vibrant opportunity for students to grow academically, socially, and personally in one of the UK’s most beautiful and historic cities. Whether students are preparing for A-Levels, the IB Diploma, the University Foundation Programme (UFP), or simply getting ahead with enrichment courses, August at Worthgate blends academic focus with the energy of summer exploration.
Academic Focus During Summer Months
Unlike many schools that wind down in August, Worthgate keeps the momentum going with focused academic programmes. Students benefit from small-group tutoring, intensive revision sessions, and subject-specific workshops tailored for those starting or continuing their studies. International students especially appreciate this head-start, easing the transition into the British curriculum and giving them an academic edge for the term ahead.
Vibrant Activities and Cultural Experiences
August also means adventure and exploration. Our summer student life programme includes weekend excursions to London, seaside trips to Whitstable and Dover, as well as local Canterbury walks and cultural activities. Students enjoy movie nights, global food events, creative clubs, and sport competitions—making new friends and unforgettable memories along the way. The warm, welcoming atmosphere ensures every student, especially those far from home, feels part of something special.
Boarding Life in the Summer
Our boarding houses remain open and lively throughout August. With full pastoral care, nutritious meals, and secure accommodation, students enjoy the independence of residential life in a nurturing environment. Whether joining for a summer term or staying between courses, boarders enjoy both structure and freedom—ideal for personal development.
