English and sport at a British boarding school for teenagers
In Oundle, Exsportise runs a junior language course in England that combines English classes with sport in a British boarding school setting. The programme is aimed at young people who want to progress in English while keeping a strong place for their sporting passion, in an international and closely supervised atmosphere.
The strength of Exsportise lies in this twofold logic: learn the language in the morning, then live and practise it in structured sports activities in the afternoon and for the rest of the day. This continuity is particularly effective for teenagers who need an active, motivating and concrete stay.
The Oundle setting brings the classic dimension of the English boarding school: campus life, team spirit, residential supervision and a well-organised rhythm. This reassures families and gives young people a real experience of English-style group living.
For teenagers, it is a highly engaging option, mixing English, sport and international friendships. For parents, it is a well-positioned, clear and coherent stay for a junior project in England.
The stay in detail
THE PROGRAMME
The Exsportise Centre in Oundle offers a daily programme for young people, from Monday to Friday. This programme includes half a day of English classes and another half day devoted to the sporting or artistic activity chosen by the child. On registration, children select their main activity from several options, such as tennis, football, basketball, horse riding and dance.
All the activities, except horse riding, take place at the Exsportise Centre. Young people are supervised by professional instructors recognised in their field. The chosen activity is treated as a discipline in its own right within the Exsportise programme, just like the English classes. Both disciplines aim to push young people to surpass themselves and improve their level.
The English classes take place on site, led by qualified teachers. At weekends, visits and excursions are organised to round off the stay.
For those who prefer a programme made up solely of sports activities without English classes, two options are available. They can either choose 15 hours of one sport and 15 hours of another sport per week, or opt for 30 hours of football per week.
ACCOMMODATION
Teenagers are accommodated on site in spacious, bright and comfortable rooms, with rooms of 2, 3 or 4 beds. The youngest stay in mini-dormitories of 6 to 10 beds. Girls and boys are separated, and the rooms are constantly supervised by school staff. Stays are full board, with three meals served each day and a packed lunch provided on excursion days.
VISITING OUNDLE
The small historic town of Oundle, set in the Northamptonshire countryside, offers a privileged setting for young people. It is an hour north of London and very close to Cambridge.
