Summer School at St. Andrews Shifnal: Learn, Play, Grow

Looking for a way to keep kids engaged while school is out? Our summer school mixes solid academics with hands‑on projects so students stay sharp and have fun. You won't find boring lectures here – every day is a chance to try something new, whether that's a short‑term tech certificate, a creative writing sprint, or a science experiment that fizzles and pops.

Why Choose Our Summer School?

First off, we keep class sizes small. That means each student gets personal attention from teachers who actually enjoy summer teaching. Second, the schedule is flexible. Parents can pick a two‑week intensive track or a relaxed eight‑week option, depending on what fits their calendar.

We also focus on real‑world skills. For example, our "Which Short‑Term Course Has the Highest Salary in 2025?" workshop shows teens how a few weeks of cloud certification or cybersecurity training can open doors to paid internships. It’s not just theory – we bring in local professionals to talk about their day‑to‑day work.

Lastly, we blend learning with recreation. Every afternoon includes a sports break, art lab, or outdoor exploration, so students return home energized rather than exhausted.

What Courses Are On Offer?

Our catalogue changes each year, but here are some staples you’ll often see:

  • Tech Fast‑Track: 8‑24‑week certificates in cloud computing, Salesforce admin, and cybersecurity. These modules mirror our popular blog post on high‑salary short‑term courses.
  • Finance Basics: A hands‑on take on the 50‑30‑20 budgeting rule, letting students manage a mock allowance and see savings grow.
  • Distance Learning Skills: How to thrive online – perfect for kids who might continue virtual classes after summer.
  • GCSE Boosters: Targeted sessions on scoring a 9, with proven strategies from our "How Hard Is It to Get a 9 in GCSE?" article.
  • Creative and Well‑Being Workshops: Sessions on recognizing autism mannerisms, soft‑skill development for women in digital careers, and lifelong learning after 60 – all adapted for younger minds.

Each course ends with a mini‑project you can showcase in a portfolio, so students have something tangible to brag about when they go back to school.

Ready to sign up? Just swing by our website, pick a program, and fill out the short registration form. Spots fill fast, especially for the tech tracks, so act now and give your child a summer they'll actually look forward to.

Got questions? Our friendly staff is just a call or email away. We love helping families find the perfect fit, whether that's a full‑time immersion or a weekend workshop. Summer at St. Andrews is more than a break – it’s a launchpad for confidence, curiosity, and future success.
