A London summer school at Dulwich College for students aged 12 to 16, with three very different courses: careers, English, and football with QPR.
SBC's London campus is based at Dulwich College and runs three courses for students aged 12 to 16. Career Discovery gives students an early look at fields including medicine, finance, business, computing, AI and engineering through simulations and challenges. It is delivered in partnership with InvestIN and runs for 20 hours a week. English Adventures is a 15-hour-a-week language course that uses London itself as material, connecting classroom work to what students see across the city. The QPR Pro Football Club Experience, new for 2027, combines football with sports science, psychology, leadership and teamwork, also at 15 hours a week. All three courses develop English alongside their subject, and all are taught in classes of no more than 15. Residential students stay in boarding accommodation at Dulwich College with all meals provided, and day students have lunch and an evening meal. The excursion programme takes advantage of central London. Every student receives a student report and a certificate.

Earlscliffe fees include return transfers to/from London Heathrow and London Gatwick for flights/trains scheduled to arrive/depart between 9am-3pm on published arrival and departure days.
For other locations, students are provided with the option of using SBC's Shared Transfer Service from/to London Heathrow Airport and St. Pancras International.
When a student arrives, an SBC staff member wearing a bright yellow t-shirt will be waiting to greet her/him and accompany them to our Welcome Club. At Welcome Club, she/he will have the chance to meet other students arriving, have some light refreshments and relax. After a little rest, students will be accompanied by students and SBC staff to board the coach and be taken directly to the School in a private coach. The Shared Transfer Service can be used by students using the following flight times:
Flight landing time on arrival day: 06:00-17:00 Flight take-off time on departure day: 8:00-18:00 If you book a flight outside of these times or to/from another UK airport, we can look at sending a staff member in a taxi to collect or drop off your child, but it will cost more than the Shared Transfer Service. Quotations are available upon request.
