The location of the campus is important when you are choosing a summer school. Why is Ludlow the perfect place for your children’s summer school adventure?
Safe
Every parent wants their children to have new experiences and to explore the world, but more than that, every parent wants their child to be safe. Ludlow is not a big city. It is a very safe, secure town, which means that when your child is on summer school, you can feel relaxed. Also, because we are the only summer school in Ludlow, your child really will experience complete immersion in English.
Historic
King Henry VIII had six wives. One of them, Catherine of Aragon, lived in Ludlow Castle, which dates back to 1086 and is located on the main square in the centre of the town.The town walls still exist today, making Ludlow a very special place to visit. There are many black and white houses dating back to Shakespeare’s time. Do explore the narrow, medieval streets and take a walk along the river for the best views of the castle!
Cultural capital
Ludlow is a wealthy town with many entrepreneurial people and young people who enjoy meeting our students and talking to them whether it be in the castle, at the market or in the shops. It is a famous destination for food and cultural festivals including:
