The focus at school is learning. In the lounges you can browse through English classics and make friends with staff and other students. There are tennis and golf courts and a football pitch on site. Excursions can include trips to the theatre, art gallery and a visit to Mother Shipton's Cave. A weekend trip to York, Manchester or Leeds is also on offer. Evenings are spent with host families.
