Summer School

TENNIS

Our dynamic and enthusiastic coaches are experienced in instructing players with different language capabilities.

During the ten hours of specialised tennis coaching, the coaches will work on every aspect of the game using demonstration, practice and feedback to get the best out of players in every session.

Sessions focus on skills such as spin, shot selection, power and agility – challenging players at every level.

Supporting the on-court training, is a series of workshops designed to develop players’ psychology and all-round athleticism, utilising our outstanding facilities.

FINE ARTS: PAINTING AND DRAWING

The fine arts programme is the perfect week for students who enjoy nothing better than a few hours with a paint brush or pencil and a blank canvas.

Painting and drawing form the foundations of many different styles of art. This week will focus on developing new, or building on existing, brush work and drawing skills.

Students will be given the opportunity to expand their knowledge with activities of different difficulty levels, to learn and practice all types of techniques to progress as an artist and enjoy a basic exploration of the history of art.

The week will conclude in an ‘outdoor classroom’ as the class takes a trip to a local landmark to paint or draw and create a lasting memory of your art week at Rossall.

HORSE RIDING

The equestrian programme combines qualified staff, experienced horses and excellent facilities to create an atmosphere in which students can advance their horse riding skills, expand their horsemanship knowledge and enjoy riding with friends.

Our partner equestrian centre provides instructors that are experienced in teaching a variety of abilities. Beginners will enjoy playing mounted games and learn about the horse, while more advanced riders may learn to trot, canter and even jump.

We would be grateful to know the height and weight of the student booking onto this course, as well as level of ability.

BRITISH BAKING

Our British Baking week will see students learn the essential basics of baking while trying some of the most famous and time tested recipes. 

Suitable for a baker hoping to make their first ever Victoria Sponge, or for a budding pastry chef with dreams of patisserie kitchens; our experienced tutors will be on hand to nurture all levels of kitchen skills. 

Students are promised a most memorable week and will leave us filled with the confidence that they can bake well and replicate, at home, the recipes that they have learnt during Summer School.

The course will teach students to navigate their way around the solar system in our onsite planetarium, where the students are guaranteed a perfectly clear night sky.

They will learn how to identify the most important constellations, know how and when to track down the planets and the best ways to view them from planet earth.

This course will complement the students’ English skills wonderfully, in an academic, yet fun environment.

Golf

PGA Golf Coaches will offer a fun based training programme that will enable students of differing experience/ability the chance to develop the required skills to play and improve.

Advanced English Language

In addition to the twenty hours of English language offered on the standard courses, we are offering students the opportunity to take their English Language skills to the next level with the Advanced English Language course.

Students will learn the basic structure and style of an academic essay, how to read English texts more critically, how to use these ideas in their written and oral arguments, what to listen out for in lectures and documentaries, and how to take useful notes.

Students will gain confidence in group discussion work and how to give a formal presentation.

Alongside these aims, the students will focus on improving their grammatical accuracy in speaking and writing, and extending both their general and academic English vocabulary.

For pupils with English Level B1 or higher.

Design and Technology

This week will allow your child to develop their skills within this increasingly important area in a world where driverless cars and AI are becoming more than just figments of film and imagination.

The broad learning intentions include developing a perspective on technology such that pupils develop a view of technology and how it might be used, and then enabling technological capability so that pupils experience what it means to ‘do’ technology as opposed to just learning about technology.

You will spend the week working on different designs to create a bespoke product over the ten-hour course learning the different stages of the design journey each day. 

Rossall’s very own DT teacher will be supporting our pupils during this course in our state of the art DT department complete with 3D CAD modelling, 3D Printer and laser cutting machines.
