A Busy Summer at Epsom College

As Epsom's pupils headed home for the summer months, the College welcomed children for a wide range of cultural visits, study tours, sports camps and activities throughout July and August.

Cultural and Study Tours

Children travelled to the College from across Europe and as far afield as Azerbajan, Kazakhstan and China over the summer, living in College accommodation and experiencing British culture. The visitors were very complimentary about their experience at Epsom, giving particularly high praise to the delicious food, hospitality and fine facilities. Epsom proved to be the perfect base from which to explore the UK, with day trips to London, Hampton Court, Cambridge and Brighton, as well as a few theatre visits.

Epsom College Summer Camps

Blessed with many sunny days, our playing fields and courts hosted a wealth of sporting activities for our ever-popular Summer Sports Camps. Children attended from 72 different schools, including those local to the area as well as from overseas.

Epsom’s sports coaches gave their experience and expertise to deliver a mixture of fun and focused sports courses, including our legendary Multi-Sports, Cricket, Football Tennis and Netball programmes. We also ran increasingly popular Drama and Art courses and the College’s first Computer Science weeks, keeping children highly entertained as they programmed their robots to move around a maze.

‘A fantastic week.  The teachers were so fun and he has made great friends.  He has loved doing a show in just one week!  Thank you for a great week!’ (Drama)

Not forgetting Camp Beaumont which provided yet further opportunities for children to have fun during the holidays. We’ve had a wonderfully busy summer, hosting over 2,200 children and raising important funds, which directly supports the running costs of the College.

The staff at Epsom have worked tirelessly over the summer to make everyone’s stay comfortable and welcoming – a big thank you to all involved.
