Summer School
Introduccion
Richmond Park Summer School
RPS Summer School is the ideal complementary activity to finish the school year. Based on a successful system of alternating workshops, each participant will work, on a daily basis, in different activities chosen by educators according to the different age groups. Our main objective is for children to develop a series of skills that will help them in the future, while, at the same time, they have fun and improve their interpersonal relationships.
We have tried to create a balanced programme which guarantees very high levels of motivation and participation. Combining physical activities, through sport, with others that require mental agility, we shall ensure the children are both entertained and helped to develop as individuals. Our programme will focus on the development of some of key skills:

Workshops
By year groups
When working on the selection and organisation of the workshops, our teachers and coordinators have in mind several different variables: the age of participants, moment in the day, physical load, activity duration, preparation and collection of items, variety, etc.
Age is, clearly the most important variable, and determines the specific content of the activities. The children will be divided into two main groups:
From 3 to 5 years of age
The youngest children will have their own dedicated space, to enjoy a daily exclusive programme, guided and cared for at all moments by the same specialist team. Our EYFS specialists take care of their safeguarding and well-being, while prompting them to participate in, and enjoy the different experiences s and reach the set objectives.
From 6 to 11 years of age
This group will enjoy far more autonomy, participating in many different workshops organised throughout the school’s facilities. Each workshop will be led by one or more instructors, who will identify key objectives in their planning to careful planning , complement those worked on during the school year.

Apart from achieving the specific objectives and learning the rules of each sport, participants will also develop the main physical skills: resistance, speed, strength and agility. There will also be a strong emphasis on personal effort, teamwork, and healthy competition. Key sports will include : basketball, football, badminton, rounders, hockey and handball.

The children’s work will be based on direct experience and make the most of their natural creativity. At home, everyone will be able to share their achievements and give them the recognition they deserve.
What did our 2024 participants think of RPS's Summer School?
Sin duda contaremos con Richmond Park para otros años porque, sin ser alumnos del colegio, nuestros niños se han sentido acogidos y enseguida han hecho amigos.
Las horas de deporte en este campamento han sido ¡lo mejor! Y la cocina ha sido un gran divertimento, donde aprendían procedimientos muy útiles a la par que disfrutaban de grandes momentos. Muchísimas gracias por todo vuestro apoyo, cariño y ganas por hacer las cosas fantásticamente bien. Felicidades por vuestro éxito y por vuestra gran organización.
Mi más sincera enhorabuena por el trabajo y desempeño llevados a cabo durante el Summer School de Richmond Park. Recogíamos a nuestros hijos cada tarde encantados viéndoles presumir de todo aquello que habían elaborado en el día. No paraban de hacer talleres diversos y creativos, todos ligados por temáticas comunes entre ellos. Muy agradecido por el resultado final.
La organización perfecta, ya que, cuando los padres tenemos que trabajar, necesitamos estar tranquilos y saber que nuestros hijos están en buenas manos y es que salían cada día encantados. Todo ha estado fenomenal, el staff fantástico y la diversidad de temáticas, talleres y actividades han estado de 10.
El amplísimo espacio que ofrece Richmond Park ha posibilitado una experiencia enriquecedora para nuestros hijos, disfrutando de un mes de julio divertido, lleno de aprendizaje y grandes momentos.
La hora de los Water Games al aire libre ha sido ¡el gran acierto del verano! Gracias a los espacios tan espléndidos que posee el colegio, nuestros hijos han podido disfrutar de un mini “parque acuático” difícil de superar en otros centros educativos de la zona. Mil gracias por haber arrancado con semejante nivel, ganas y éxito rotundo.
