Bucksmore Education
Four decades of experience running summer schools has made Bucksmore one of the leading providers of summer education in the UK.

Bucksmore takes particular pride in their innovative ‘study-in-action days’, where students take their theoretical learning outside the classroom and visit places where they can apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. All courses provide at least 25 hours / week of tuition, along with at least 2 cultural excursions.
Bucksmore operates from world-renowned venues such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, King’s College London, and prestigious boarding schools based in Oxford, Kent, Surrey and East Sussex. View all dates and fees for summer 2023 here.

Testimonials
My stay with Bucksmore was absolutely perfect! The counsellors were all very welcoming and made sure that everybody had a great time. The classes were very interesting and I really appreciated that we were only 11 students in each class. The best part was how I got the chance to meet so many nice people from various countries!
I spent two weeks this summer at Plumpton College and I absolutely loved it! I chose the Bucksmore Summer course and I really enjoyed it. The activities and excursions planned were very interesting and amusing. It's a very good way to experience different ways of living and also meeting new people from different places.
I had such a great time there. I met a lot of new friends. Everyone was very kind and every day we had fun. Thank you Bucksmore for amazing experience.
