Blundell's Summer School
Blundell's Summer School offers an outstanding opportunity for international students to improve their English, explore British culture and experience life in a traditional UK Boarding School.
Blundell’s Summer School, set in the South West countryside, offers a safe and supportive environment with a diverse international community (capped at 15% per nationality). Pupils are taught by Blundell’s own teachers, combining English language development with creative workshops in arts, drama, and music. A wide range of co-curricular activities – from sport and outdoor adventure to cultural experiences – encourages teamwork, communication, and resilience. With afternoons shared alongside English-speaking pupils, the programme provides natural opportunities for conversation, friendships, and fun. For those joining Blundell’s or other UK schools, it is the perfect way to build confidence and feel at home before term begins.
