Our Summer Centres
WELCOME
It gives me great pleasure to present the 2022 summer programmes from WSE Juniors. Since our
last summer at Lord Wandsworth College we have been busy developing our offering to provide
an even better programme for our younger students.
In our years of running juniors’ programmes we’ve found so much inspiration in the positive
impact that a few weeks in a summer centre can have on young people’s lives. It’s with this at the
forefront of our minds that we have been working on ways to give our junior and teen students
the kind of experience that they will always remember.
Not only are we now offering a choice of two different places to study with us, the green fields of
Lord Wandsworth College or the excitement of one of London’s finest suburbs in Wimbledon, but
we are also taking a different approach to teaching children and young adults that is designed
to equip them with the tools they need to succeed in later life.
Using problem-based methods for learning, our main courses and skills workshops empower
students to take responsibility for their own learning, developing their inter-disciplinary abilities
with special emphasis on WSE’s five Cs of 21st Century Learning: critical thinking, creativity,
collaboration, communication, and confidence.
We can’t wait to welcome you in summer 2022.
