More Than English

I am very grateful to David, Claire and the whole staff of the summer school for my daughter Oksana's stay at the camp. She came back very happy. It was a wonderful experience that she had there. These are wonderful memories that will stay with her. I wish everyone good luck in their work and life! Thank you very much for your generous hearts, for your attention to our children - children from Ukraine, where there is a war now. This gives hope for the best.

Miss

I absolutely loved my experience at More Than English Summer School!
The teachers are well-rounded and helpful, the staff members are very friendly. I had a jubilant time, as I made new international friends, expanded my vocabulary and improved my general academic knowledge, while building the understanding of my future career path and my passions on the University Preparation course and the Global Leadership course. I can definitely recommend everyone this fantastic summer school!

Excellent two weeks at Moor Park

My son Mark attended the summer school for two weeks in July and August, 2019. It was his first independent trip abroad but we didn't have to worry as he was in the caring hands of the More than English staff from the moment he stepped off the plane to the moment he took the plane back. Mark brought home the most positive impressions from his time at Moor Park School. His spoken English improved; he says there was more real communication in class in two weeks than there is in his English class in Russia in a year. And of course the communication continued the whole day as he rehearsed theatrical plays, played sports and went on interesting excursions with his new friends. I think the school has a clever policy of mixing different nationalities. As the only Russian there at the time, Mark was forced to speak only English. Even more importantly than his language skills, the two-week experience had a positive effect on him as a person, as he became noticeably more mature and self-confident, and his teachers here commented on that change in him when he went back to school in September. Finally, I was personally pleased with the school's location in a rural area, so it was also a healthy experience for Mark, who has to spend the rest of his year in a polluted city. Thank you, More Than English!

Milana Zolotarevska

Milana spent two fantastic weeks at More than English summer camp in July 2019. It was her first trip to UK. Words could hardly describe how happy she was being at this camp. Great English classes were combined with amazing activities and excursions. Staff, food, facilities let alone the location exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this camp, because it has great atmosphere and kids improve their English fluency.

The best summer camp

In the beginning I must talk about the first impressions. When I fist arrived the staff welcomed me with open arms and the kids did the same.At first I was shy, but after a few days I made a lot of new friends and memories that I will remember my whole life and I’m sure of it.

I must talk about the residences.the residences are small, but cozy and the inside everybody was friendly.Also, the bathrooms are big and there
is space for everybody there.

Furthermore,the activities were amazing.We had lots of options everyday and most of them were very fun.In addition to that,the get ahead options were very helpful
because I learned lots of new and exiting things.For instance,before I came here i didn’t even know how to hold a golf club,but now I can hit a golf ball pretty far.

Moving on, the food as amazing, we had traditional foods from different countries like India,Spain and many others…..AND OF COURSE ENGLISH!!!

The core english lessons were extremely helpful because they ere exactly at my skill level.Also, they improved my English pronunciation a lot because we only spoke english
and all around the campus and in the class.

The trips were amazing and very interesting because I learned a lot of new things about different cities in England.I think I would need days to describe only one trip that’s how amazing they were.The cool part is that you have free time in the city and you can live a local citizen.

The last thing I want to talk about are the evening activities.They are so much fun and I enjoy all of them.This activities never repeat and there is something new every night and very creative.For example tonight we have mocktail night and I am sure it ill be a lot of fun.

In conclusion, this camp is a lot of fun and I really recommended to everyone.

Best summer camp

The first thing that I wanna talk about are the first impressions.The house is very nice inside and gives a nice atmosphere. The people are very nice and open for new friendships .The people are from all around the world.

The next thing I wanna talk about is the residences the rooms are very big and have a nice view on the outside.You have space under your bed to put the clothes in.
There’s a lounge were we meet before breakfast ,evening activities etc. Once a week you get a plastic bag to put your dirty clothes in in and they will give you the clean clothes the next day.

What springs to mind is that you always have a choice of activities. The activities are very fun and exciting. Even when you haven’t played these activities before thats a great place to learn them.I picked tennis as get ahead and i really enjoy it .

The food is great. They serve food from all around the world. You can have as much as you want to but for the most people one serving is enough. There are desserts everyday and fruit too so there will always be something to eater you even when you'd don't like the main dish which probably is not gonna be the case.

The English lessons are very helpful and really fun and its more like having a big conversation.
And they aren't as strict as school English lessons and the time passes by really quick.We do way more oral than to write anything but sometimes we do have to write something like this review right here.The English class i came to was perfect to learn new stuff.

As of right ,now the camp is amazing and is way better than my expectations .
enjoy your stay!

Connecting young people from around the world

I came here in the third week, so I was here only for two weeks. People here were already friendly with each other, because most of them were here from the beginning. That made me think that I won’t make any friends. On the contrary, I made so many friends, everyone here is extremely friendly: students, staff, EVERYONE!

Moving on to the whereabouts, I personally like silence and also nature. This place is simply for me in every way. The girls’ residence is adorable, the decoration in the halls, rooms and the lounge. It is very comfortable, perfect for relaxing, but that is not common here. You are constantly on your feet.

And that brings us to my next point, the activities. Let’s start with the clubs. My only minus here is that there should always be a more sporty one and more relaxing one. Other than that, they are amazing. Always fun and never boring. Next activities are the evening activities. Sometimes after a long day I would rather rest, but I understand we can’t be given a choice, wether or not to go, because it would never work out. Evening activities were sometimes boring, but not always.

Another thing I want to mention is Get Ahead. I absolutely love Get Ahead. You have so many options, so many to choose out of. During the two weeks I had tennis and creative writing, I can only say that both of them were incredibly great! So many things I want to try, yet so little time. I guess I’m going to have to stay here for longer than just two weeks.

I can’t forget the excursions of course. All of them very interesting and fun of course. Throughout my stay here, I’ve been to a lot of places. I changed a few times, but I think I changed to the better ones, if that is even possible. Every excursion here was incredible. The two ones I liked the most were Stratford and Ludlow castle, but still, Oxford awaits.

And finally, Core English. I have only positive things to say about Core English. English is my favourite subject in school and thanks to this place I was able to improve more than in any other summer school I’ve been to before. In short: great teachers, great study plan, great EVERYTHING! Writing is my favourite and here it was the best.

I suppose that is all I wanted to mention. I would love to stay for at least one more week, but soon holiday ends and school starts.
I hope this place will stay the same.
I hope I’ll see you next year!
