Education Travel Group, the UK’s leading provider of educational language and activity products come to Spain where the portfolio of Kingswood Educational Activity Centres, Camp Beaumont Summer Camps, Grosvenor Hall and UK Connection will be presented. Education Travel Group will be exhibiting with Visit Britain at Fitur between January 20th to 24th 2010 in Madrid.Kingswood Educational Activity Centres are the UK’s leading providers of English language and activity courses for students, established for almost 30 years. Kingswood operates seven excellent centres across the UK, in typical British locations, close to stunning coastline, English seaside towns, bustling cities or amongst rolling green hills. At these centres Kingswood offers a year-round ‘English Interactive Programme’, perfect for student groups wanting to visit the UK at any time of the year to learn English in a tailor-made programme including formal English classes, Computing (ICT), environmental lessons and excursions to local historical and cultural locations, mixing with English students.
During the summertime, Kingswood becomes Camp Beaumont, the UK’s favourite summer camps where children and teenagers aged 7-17 can “Learn English With The English” on a summer camp holiday with English children. ‘Our English in Action’ courses lead the field in integrative learning, at six UK camps across the country. During the course of their stay students’ days are filled with structured English lessons like grammar and sentence construction, and also active learning through debating, investigating topical news stories, writing a presentation about their favourite movie or maybe designing a new product and writing about it in English. When not in classes, students also try adventure activities like Climbing, Abseiling or Fencing and visit local places of interest outside the camp.
Two new programmes launching for 2010 include Grosvenor Hall and UK Connection. Grosvenor Hall opens in March 2010 as one of Europe’s premier language, education and adventure centres. Formerly a major Police Training Centre for the south of England, £10 million of investment into this 50 acre site will add new adventure activity facilities such as high ropes courses, team challenge, a watersports lake and much more; refurbishment of all current facilities will include many English language classrooms and upgraded comfortable student accommodation. New educational facilities also include a media centre with radio and TV studios and a student courtroom. Located in Ashford, close to the Eurostar terminal, and many major transport routes into Europe and beyond, this is the perfect location for groups to learn more about the English language and culture. Grosvenor Hall is actively working towards receiving British Council Accreditation.
Also new for 2010, UK Connection is a range of specialist study tours for international schools and groups coming to the UK, with over 20 years experience. Tours take advantage of the interesting and varied cultural history of the UK, with itineraries including London, York, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Bath and Stratford. Tours can be completely tailor-made to suit a group’s requirements, with a full range of excursions to visit all the major attractions of the chosen local area.
All of these products are part of the Education Travel Group portfolio. Education Travel Group is the UK´s leading supplier of educational group tours, English language study tours, school ski and educationally rich residential centre breaks for schools, with Credit Suisse as its investment partner.
