Our Summer School in Winchester: St Swithun's

LAL Summer Schools use the buildings and grounds of St Swithun's in Winchester. St Swithun's is a private, independent school. It has occupied its present magnificent site of some 45 acres on the outskirts of Winchester since 1931. The school has a sports hall and a full-size swimming pool. The grounds are spacious and encompass sports fields, tennis courts and gardens.

Winchester gives us the opportunity to take around 200 students from many different countries offering good quality accommodation, innovative lessons and an exciting and varied leisure programme. 2010 saw LAL Summer Schools receive over 28 different nationalities from 4 different continents.

Expert management, returning staff and vast experience ensure that LAL Summer Schools maintains the highest operational standards possible.

Catering

There is a fully equipped kitchen on site and a large, light, airy dining hall. There is a choice of different meals, with a vegetarian option and food is always cooked freshly on site. The varied menu is agreed between LAL Summer Schools and St Swithun’s with food supplied from local farmers and suppliers. Meals are on a rota system with two sittings for each meal. Each student will be assigned a colour and they can only arrive at the dining hall at the designated time. This is to make sure that everyone can sit down when they eat, as the dining hall cannot accommodate all the students in one sitting.There is also a Tuck Shop, providing the students with a variety of snacks and drinks at reasonable prices.
