Model UN debate class is wrapping up their research in expectation of tomorrow’s big debate. They’ll be discussing AI and its impact on the society – both the good and the bad. To effectively prepare, they have been learning key phrases used in high-level debates as well as formal procedures which are used in real UN debates. Good luck!

Get Ahead – Tennis
After three lessons of tennis with professional coaches, improvements are more than apparent. Students are showing lots of ambition!
Get Ahead – Creative Writing
Creative writing is perfect for students who wish to learn how to express themselves through storytelling. It’s not easy to master, but the class is working hard in getting their stories perfected.
We’re excited to see what Iveta will come up with!
Getting sporty
With so much learning to do, some time to relax comes in very handy. Today, students could play volleyball or grab a stick and see what unihockey is like.
Now, where did that ball go?
Thats what you call a good serve!
International Mocktail Night
Two weeks after International Night, More Than English students and staff got another chance to “taste” the variety of countries represented at summer school. This time, students made mocktails, after lots of experimentation and team effort.
Learning about other nationalities in the most fun way possible
Summer school is almost here and we can’t wait to meet you! To help you get ready, here is a useful checklist of things to pack in your suitcase:
Shoulder bag
When you go to the airport and fly to England, it’s a good idea to wear a shoulder bag containing your most important items:
Passport
Boarding card
Any special medicine that is very important for you
Also in your shoulder bag:
Insurance summary document from More Than English
Copy of “Parental Consent Form” signed by parents
For students outside the EU only – “Official Letter of Invitation” from More Than English
(Ask your agent for these documents, which are part of the More Than English “Pre-Departure Pack”)
Bring a small shoulder bag
Smaller suitcases are easier to carry
Try to find a suitcase that is lightweight and not too big
We suggest:
Main suitcase: lightweight design 65cm x 40cm x 20cm
Optional extra: hand luggage: x1 small suitcase 40cm x 30cm x 15cm
*Always check size limits for luggage with your airline
Clothes
We offer a free laundry service every week. However, sometimes it rains in England (!) so it is good to bring enough clothes for at least 9 or 10 days!
Don’t forget your swimming costume!
Important clothing items to bring:
Swimming costume (we have a great swimming pool on campus)
Light summer coat
Thin jumpers / sweaters
Sports clothes
Sports shoes
A pair of flip flops
Towel
One smart outfit for special events
A sun hat and sunglasses
We provide pillows, duvets and sheets – so don’t bring these!
Footballers should bring shin pads.
Performing Arts students doing Film Making, Dance or Drama and Theatre should bring black trousers and a black top:
Black clothes (trousers and top) for Film Making, Dance and Drama students
Gadgets
These gadgets will make your life easier!
3 pin UK electrical adaptor
A tiny padlock for your suitcase
An umbrella
Mobile telephone and charger
A small rucksack or shoulder bag for your packed lunch on excursions
A computer can be very useful, but it is not essential.
Should I bring a computer?
Yes – a computer is very useful (and the campus is super safe).
No – your computer might get broken when you are travelling.
>> An old computer might be better than a brand new one. A tablet (iPad) could be a good compromise. Also, remember that we have a fantastic computer room on campus.
School equipment
We provide pens, pencils and notebooks for you – but you can bring your favourite pens if you would like to.
Toiletries
Please bring:
Sun cream factor 50 (SPF 50)
Shower gel and shampoo
Toothpaste and toothbrush
Roll on deodorant (not spray!)
Nailclippers
Medicine
Some students bring important medicine. Our House Parents will safely look after your medicine for you.
Important: please bring also a prescription for your medicine written in English from your doctor.
Bring some souvenirs from your country for international night
International Night
We want to know about your country!
Students from 17 countries will be on campus during summer 2018! On Thursday 19th July 2018 and Tuesday 31st July 2018 we will hold an International Night.
If possible, please bring with you any small souvenirs from your country to share with the other students. For example, it is really interesting to try sweets that you can buy in the supermarket from different countries!

How much pocket money does my child need for summer school?
All meals and activities are included in the programme, so on the one hand, students do not need any pocket money. On the other hand, most students love to buy a few souvenirs or an ice cream during their excursions. Therefore, we recommend £50-£75 a week for pocket money.
On arrival our House Parents collect all the pocket money and put it in the school safe. Students only need about £10 – £20 in their wallet. Students can get more pocket money every Tuesday and Friday during House Time, which starts at 2130.
The emergency telephone number
Before your child leaves home, please make sure they enter the Emergency Telephone Number from More Than English in their mobile phone. This special telephone number is on the front cover of the “Student Handbook” which you will receive from your agent.
Did we forget anything?
If we forgot to pack something in the suitcase – please let us know!
