Course Description
Everyone has the potential to lead, and in our Future Global Leaders course we help nurture what it is about each of our students that will make them great leaders. In Future Global Leaders, we examine case studies of leadership throughout history, and learn how the individual can improve their leadership skills. By drawing on the strategies and behaviours used by contemporary leaders in business and politics, students will learn the foundations of what is required to shape their own personal leadership style. Whether students are interested in business, politics, or performing in the arts, we give our students the chance to lead from the front, providing them with every opportunity to develop their newly acquired persuasive communication skills.

Activities
At Headington Oxford Summer School, students can fully immerse themselves in a wide range of fun activities. We aim to facilitate the physical and mental well-being of all our students, by providing a whole host of games and sports that allow students to explore their extracurricular passions and interests. In addition, there will also be several whole school events, such as tournaments, quizzes, zorbing and discos. This helps develop key teamwork and communication skills whilst, most importantly, having fun! This part of the experience ensures students socialise with peers outside of their subject and language groups, and builds a sense of community within our schools.
Accommodations
At Headington Oxford Summer School, all students reside in purpose-built boarding houses divided into male and female accommodation. The houses are well maintained and are made up of comfortable single-occupancy, twin and small-dorm rooms with shared bathrooms and common rooms. Boarding houses are where our students forge strong friendships, which often last beyond the summer experience. Our House Parents and residential staff are experienced in facilitating these bonds. Meals The Dining Hall at Headington is a light, spacious environment including lovely outdoor tables. Meal times offer a diverse menu made by the school’s own caterers, with a continental breakfast each day (pastries, fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereal) and the option of a full English breakfast three days each week. For lunch and dinner there is always a choice of two hot meals, including one vegetarian option. There is a great salad bar selection as well as fresh bread, fruit and desserts. In addition, drinks and biscuits are served before bed. Students will be provided with a packed lunch for excursions. Pocket Money All activities, excursions and meals are included in the price, so the only money needed is for tuck shop snacks, presents or souvenirs. We generally recommend about £70 per week pocket money. We recommend that pocket money is provided on bank cards rather than in cash, for security reasons. Please note that some shops and attractions only accept card payments. If providing your child with cash, please send pocket money in small notes (£5 / £10 / £20) as most places do not accept the larger £50 note. All pocket money (bank cards and cash) is kept in the school safe and can be collected from the office at set times before excursions.
Excursions
During a two week course, students will go on three enjoyable excursions to famous UK cities and popular tourist destinations, providing the opportunity to see some of the UK’s most famous attractions and landmarks. To ensure that our students get to make the most from their trip, our dedicated team of staff accompany the students and provide a full itinerary for the day. During their stay, all students will visit London at least once, but to broaden our students’ cultural horizons even further, our excursions frequently include visits to other famous British locations such as Bath and Bristol. In each location, with parental consent, students will have the opportunity to explore independently in small groups during their excursion free time.
Transportation
Summer Boarding Courses offers an Airport Transfer Service to Headington Oxford for any flights to and from Heathrow Airport. This will be in operation throughout the scheduled arrival and departure days and available for all flights between 09.00 and 17.00 at a cost of £120 per journey.
