English + Performing Arts

Samiad’s very own Performing Arts specialism will be returning at Trent College for summer 2023. Our Performing Arts course gives our students a new and interactive way to hone their English skills and become stars of the stage! A qualified performing arts teacher will run sessions on improvisation, stage settings, and theatrical techniques. Students will also have the chance to visit Stratford-Upon-Avon, the home of Britain’s most famous playwright, William Shakespeare.  Along with visiting the famous sights that Stratford-upon-Avon has to offer our students will also get the chance to take part in workshops at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre taught by some of the countries leading thespians!

Each afternoon, touching on various elements of theatre; singing, dancing, acting, set and costume design, our students will create and perform scenes in the English Language.  

As with all of our specialisms, the afternoons on campus are dedicated to our students chosen course.   However, during the mornings and the evenings, those studying performing arts will join with the rest of our students for morning English classes and evening activities, which include things such as: Murder Mystery – There has been a murder on campus! Your favourite teacher has been taken away, but can you work together with your team to decipher the clues to find the murderer?

Accommodation & Welfare

Accomodation

All of our campuses are residential, meaning the students will stay in purpose built boarding accommodation on a campus along with all of the other children and our staff.  The campuses consist of separate buildings for boys and girls with a mixture of single, twin and quad rooms with either en-suite bathrooms or shared bathroom facilities.  As well as boarding facilities all of our campus have excellent sport and recreational activities such as sports halls, basketball and tennis courts, swimming pools, discos and dining facilities.

Welfare

Every year the feedback from students shows that our staff are the most important aspect of the programme for the children, and we are lucky to have a wonderful, dedicated and friendly group of staff at each campus.  Although all of our staff are trainee or fully qualified teachers, we also have a dedicated welfare team at each campus.  You will be given their contact details and they will be on hand 24-hours a day to ensure that your child has the best experience possible.

We were established in 2013 to try and offer more value and a better experience for children attending summer schools, and since then these values have only gotten stronger. We focus on 4 main areas to achieve this and briefly they are;

• We offer unique, high value excursions, including our now famous OVERNIGHT excursions to either a medieval castle!
• We push the boundaries on what activities can be offered at a summer school, from zombie runs, escape games, assault courses and music festivals
• We cap each language to 20%, meaning there is a maximum of 30 children with the same mother tongue as your children on campus, in reality it will be far less.
