Young Learner Leisure
St Mary’s has an indoor sports hall, indoor tennis courts plus extensive fields for outdoor sports, including a marked football pitch. There is also a large cinema room. A wide range of activities are held on site to entertain students and help them practise their English through integration.
The leisure programme represents the largest part of the course and it is our intention that all students take part in as many different activities as possible. All included excursions are compulsory unless illness or injury prevents this. We also have a programme of extra activities and excursions, which are offered to the students at extra cost. It is important that these extras are booked well in advance.
St Mary’s is home to our creative arts programme with a wide range of activities including film-making, art, drama and trips to arts venues in London.
